Canadian Winter Games: Quebec: played host to teams from as far away as the Yukon in what may become a regular event every four years. Some of the top young skiers and hockey players couldn't make it, but as the organizers saw it, it was a be- ginning. Horse racing: Richard Grubb, 18, of Ridgeway, Ont., broke into the headlines by riding seven consecutive win- ners in one day to set a North American record and went on --with more than 200 winners --to take the Canadian riding championship. Cool Recep- tion, owned by a pair of sis- ters and considered the horse to beat in the Queen's Plate, broke a cannon bone in his right foreleg in coming second to Damascus in the Belmont.
