OLDSMAR, Fla. - Rockhurst, a 10-year-old who is riding a four-race win streak, will be looking for his 15th win if trainer Mike Dini can find a race for him here at Tampa Bay Downs.
Dini, who claimed Rockhurst for $10,000 back in 2003 and has seen the turf sprint specialist knock out more than $300,000 since moving to his barn, sent Rockhurst to Mike Stidham's barn at Fair Grounds this winter because there were races there where he could be competitive.
