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.
No More Heroes is currently being treated – "He's gone to the equine hospital. It's serious, hopefully he's going to be OK." Gordon Elliott

Admirably, the internet was flooded with much more well-wishes than frustration from punters who had backed the Gordon Elliot trained horse.

Good for Gordon Elliott after some rough luck with No More Heroes. Hope his injury isn't too bad.

There were similar messages of support for More of That, who finished in third despite bursting a blood vessel during the race.
Hearing More Of That burst a blood vessel and No More Heroes injured during that race. Hope they're both alright #CheltenhamFestival
