Punters were left frozen, soaked and broke as favourite after favourite was beaten at a wet and cold Cheltenham Festival yesterday.
It was a day for the bookies as fancied horses such as Mighty Potter, Shishkin, Teahupoo and Luccia were all beaten in their respective races at Prestbury Park.
Sire Du Berlais became one of JP McManus' biggest-priced winners in the history of the Festival as the owner recorded his 71st success at the meeting with the 33/1 outsider in the Stayers' Hurdle, the feature race yesterday.
