AYR, Scotland (AP) — Animal rights protesters attempted to disrupt another big horse race in Britain on Saturday, when several people broke onto the track before the Scottish Grand National at Ayr.As soon as they were on the track, the protesters — some sporting pink Animal Rising T-shirts — were tackled by security staff and police, and the problem was soon brought under control.There was an increased security presence due to last week’s protest at the Grand National at Aintree, where 118 arrests were made by Merseyside Police and Animal Rising protesters were also involved.David Brown, managing director of the Ayr racecourse, praised the swift action of the police and security teams on course.“The police and security dealt with it like the consummate professionals that they are,” Brown said. “The race went off to time, there was no notable delay, and the professionalism of the team up here in Scotland was a credit to them. They dealt with it in a very efficient manner.”...White Sox sign OF Stephen Piscotty to minor league contract

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor Shannen Doherty of hit shows “Charmed” and “Beverly Hills, 90210” has filed for divorce from her husband, Kurt Iswarienko, after 11 years of marriage, her representative says.“Divorce is the last thing Shannen wanted,” publicist Leslie Sloane said in an emailed statement Saturday. “Unfortunately, she felt she was left with no other option.” In early 2020, Doherty, now 52, announced that she was battling a recurrence of breast cancer that had progressed to stage four, calling it “a bitter pill to swallow.”“I definitely have days where I say, ‘Why me?’ And then I go, ‘Well, why not me? Who else? Who else besides me deserves this?’ None of us do,” Doherty told “Good Morning America.”The actor first revealed she had breast cancer in 2015 and has charted her battle with the disease on social media. Doherty did not refer to the divorce development on Instagram, but in a post Friday wrote: “The only people who deserve to be in your life are the ones who...Alcaraz beats Evans, will face Tsitsipas in Barcelona final

LONDON (AP) — Douglas Luiz grabbed a late equalizer as Aston Villa snatched a 1-1 draw at Brentford in the English Premier League to keep its aim of European qualification on track on Saturday.Ivan Toney looked to have secured a 100th win for Thomas Frank as Brentford manager with his 20th goal of the season in the 65th minute.But Villa has yet to not score in a match since Unai Emery was appointed manager last October, and Luiz kept up that record with a close-range finish in the 87th.Villa stayed in sixth place, and was two points behind Tottenham in fifth.Villa was unchanged from its 3-0 win over Newcastle last weekend, but was unable to match that dazzling display against a physical Bees side. All it had to show for an anemic first-half performance was Emi Buendia’s toe-poke, which forced an early save from David Raya, and a narrowly wide curler from John McGinn.At the other end, Bryan Mbeumo was giving Alex Moreno the runaround, flicking Toney’s pass over the full back’s head b...Barcelona beats Chelsea 1-0 in Women’s CL semis 1st leg
