Four Cheltenham Festival superstars for under €25,000: meet the master pinhooker

Looks Like Trouble, War Of Attrition, Paisley Park and Flooring Porter. Other than their Cheltenham triumphs, what is the tie that binds them together?

Each member of the quartet was pinhooked by Richard Rohan and not one of them cost the Ballytrasna Stud owner a king's ransom. From Noel Chance's Gold Cup hero to the back-to-back winner of the Stayers' Hurdle, each has proved time and again the eye Rohan possesses for a horse, the clairvoyant nature of that judgement realised year after year on Cleeve Hill.

For Rohan, who this week is flat out at the Tattersalls Ireland Derby Sale alongside brother-in-law Michael Moore and the Ballincurrig House Stud sales crew, this year's Stayers' Hurdle captured in mid-toss both sides of the coin when your living is made through horses.
