A lot of accumulators were ruined early on on the second day of the 2016 Cheltenham festival.

Plenty of money was behind No More Heroes in the RSA Chase but Bryan Cooper could only finish in fourth. It emerged after the 2.10 race that the seven-year-old had torn a tendon at the last fence which resulted in an unfortunate trip to the vet. https://twitter.com/AtTheRaces/status/710119978792525830 Admirably, the internet was flooded with much more well-wishes than frustration from punters who had backed the Gordon Elliot trained horse. https://twitter.com/cheltenham/status/710112759699083264 https://twitter.com/jmems24/status/710118358633607168 https://twitter.com/GoodGuyTipster/status/710113413687431169 https://twitter.com/ifandbutwhynot/status/710111676197150720 https://twitter.com/johnbelton1/status/710111587072397313 There were similar messages of support for More of That, who finished in third despite bursting a blood vessel during the race. https://twitter.com/charlieatkin18/status/710113256342429697 https://twitter.com/TomN_7/status/710113074028658688 https://twitter.com/mp_horseracing/status/710112592124121088 https://twitter.com/kris1179/status/710111315977707520 https://twitter.com/Tomptin/status/710112085724807169
