CLEARWATER â Celebrating the 40th anniversary of their mega-hit album âHi-Infidelity,â American rock band REO Speedwagon will return to the Tampa Bay area for one performance Wednesday, July 21, 8 p.m., at Ruth Eckerd Hall, 1111 McMullen Booth Road, Clearwater.
Tickets, starting at $53.25, are on sale now. Visit www.RuthEckerdHall.com or call 727-791-7400.
Formed loosely in the late â60s, REO â named after the precursor to the light truck â rode to gigs in station wagons, hopping from small gigs to even tinier gigs, just to get their name out. It worked, as fans quickly realized there was much more going on here than your average college party band.
Trot Insider has learned that the finish order of the 2019 Don Byrne Memorial has been changed after an appeal from the connections of the disqualified winner Rockin Mystery.
The 2019 Don Byrne Memorial was contested on September 15, 2019 at Century Mile. In that race, Rockin Mystery finished first but was placed last after judges ruled that the filly received an unfair start. An inquiry after the race examined the start, stating that Rockin Mystery had an opening at the inside of the starting gate.
A decision rendered by the Appeal Tribunal on April 14 restored the original order of finish, giving Rockin Mystery the winner s share of the $125,000 purse. The ruling from Horse Racing Alberta appears below.
