Riders' Picton willing to fill in where needed
In his seventh year with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Regina native and Riders' receiver Mitch Picton is once again being called upon to fill in for an injured teammate. Kian Schaffer-Baker suffered a foot injury in week one's victory over Ottawa, and that has thrust Picton into the starting lineup. 'Things change really quickly, so yeah, it's something that I'm comfortable with,' Picton said. 'The more time I get on the field, the more reps I get, I'm happy with that. Unfortunate circumstances obviously but I'm ready to go and step in wherever I'm needed.' Picton relayed to CTV News that despite some bad injury luck for both him and quarterback Trevor Harris, the two have built a good rapport with each other. 'Me and him have been getting injured at opposite times, so we actually haven't played that many games together. So, not a ton of live reps but we've had off-seasons, training camp and practice, so we're comfortable with each other and happy with the spots that we're going to be in,' Picton said. The duo will get to add one more shared game to their list, as Picton will be the lone new name added to the starting receiver lineup for Saturday's road game in Hamilton. Harris said he has full confidence in Picton's ability to step in and help the offense continue to thrive. 'I think Mitch Picton's one of the better receivers in this league. I love throwing the ball to him. Just his depth, trusty hands, and sneaky good after the catch, and yeah, not a guy we worry about,' Harris said. That confidence shown by Harris towards not only Picton, but the entirety of the receiver core, enables the pass catchers to be a cohesive unit. 'He has the utmost confidence, and he says whoever is on the field, we're going to throw it. He has confidence in us, and we have confidence that he's going to put us in a position to make plays. So, yeah, we are very fortunate to have Trev,' Picton said. Picton, Harris, and the offensive unit put up 31 points in week one. They will be looking for an encore performance in Hamilton.

Calls to abolish horse racing in East Vancouver after latest animal death
File: Horses kick up mud as they round a corner during a stakes race at Hastings Racecourse in Vancouver, B.C., on Monday July 2, 2012. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck) There are calls to abolish horse racing in East Vancouver following another death at the Hastings Racecourse. The racehorse Gem Dancer collapsed and died following an event on Sunday, during a period of elevated temperatures that Environment and Climate Change Canada called an 'early season heat event.' In a news release, the Vancouver Humane Society suggested the horse died due to heat exhaustion, and called the incident 'preventable.' The charitable organization also submitted a report to city council the following day asking officials to end horse racing at the facility when its operating agreement expires next year. 'The VHS is urging decision-makers to support a move away from horse racing at Hastings Park and toward alternative land use that offers potential for long-term economic resilience, greater public utilization of space, and alignment with public values and interest,' the charity said. B.C.'s Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General told CTV News that Gem Dancer's cause of death has not been confirmed, but she was taken to the Animal Health Centre for a necropsy. In a statement, the ministry confirmed the horse 'began showing signs of distress' and collapsed shortly after being led off the track on Sunday. She was attended to by a veterinarian from the Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch – which regulates the B.C. horseracing industry – along with several others onlookers, but could not be saved, officials said. 'Despite efforts to cool the horse down, and after being in distress for (approximately two minutes), Gem Dancer became unresponsive and was pronounced deceased by the attending veterinarian,' the ministry said, in its statement. There were four deaths at Hastings Racecourse last year, three of which were related to races. One took place during training. That amounts to 1.78 deaths per 1,000 starts, according to the province. The Vancouver Humane Society said that rate is 'markedly higher' than the industry average, and 'almost double the 0.90 fatality rate at tracks regulated by the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority.' No deaths were recorded at Faser Downs Racetrack last year.
