Jets star Brandon Marshall wins civil assault suit

Mark Lennihan/AP Brandon Marshall left the courthouse once the case went to the jury and did not return, so he was not in the room when the verdict was read. Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall won the civil suit levied against him by a California woman in Manhattan federal court for assault and battery on Friday. Christin Myles, who accused Marshall of punching her in the face outside the Marquee nightclub on Mar. 11, 2012, sought at least $75,000 in damages for her medical expenses and her pain and suffering. The jury deliberated for just over an hour before

Myers: Ferguson leaving money, saving health in retirement

Maddie Meyer/Getty Images While he spoke candidly about concussions in December, D’Brickashaw Ferguson was never diagnosed with one in his 10-year career. D’Brickashaw Ferguson is 32 years old and played 10 years in the NFL and the only snap he missed in his career came on a trick play. So, he is not part of the epidemic of young players in the last two years who are getting out of the NFL early rather than risk brain injury, even though it’s before they max out on their earnings potential. Ferguson made $67 million with the Jets and never was

Jets trade for Broncos' Ryan Clady to replace D’Brickashaw

Kathy Willens/AP Broncos offensive lineman Ryan Clady blocks for Knowshon Moreno. That was fast. On the same day D’Brickashaw Ferguson made his retirement official, the Jets traded for his replacement, dealing for former Broncos tackle Ryan Clady, according to a source. Gang Green is giving up a 2016 fifth-round pick in exchange for the tackle and will also receive a 2016 seventh-rounder, according to a source. Those are the same terms the Jets struck with the Bears a year ago in a deal for wide receiver Brandon Marshall. Clady, a four-time Pro Bowler, started 16 games in 2014 for

Advocate blasts Greg Hardy’s clueless, harmful stance

Ric Tapia/AP Greg Hardy denies ever assaulting women in an interview he did with ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Domestic violence experts responded with dismay Tuesday to disgraced football star Greg Hardy’s claim in an ESPN interview that violence against women is “nonexistent in most southern homes.” “Domestic violence does not discriminate, it impacts every race, geographic region, educational background,” Katie Ray-Jones, the CEO of the National Domestic Violence Hotline, tells the Daily News. “It knows no boundaries. It’s a reg resilient issue that people don’t talk about.” Hardy, who was suspended four games last season over evidence that he battered

Kim Bailey has the Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle in mind for Charbel

BETFAIR Hurdle fourth Affaire D’Honneur will in all likelihood skip the Cheltenham Festival with his trainer Harry Whittington instead intent on targeting the Imperial Cup at Sandown the Saturday before ‘the greatest show on turf’ kicks off.

The five-year-old, who was inconvenienced by the false start and was slowly away at the second attempt, finished strongly at Newbury and Sandown’s uphill finish could play to his strengths.

“The plan is to go to Sandown,” Whittington told the Racing Post on Monday. “He’s gone up 1lb to 133. It would be touch and go for the County Hurdle, he’d probably just miss out. I don’t like to run horses under a penalty, so to do two huge handicaps in a week would be asking a lot, but it is not out of the question. The Imperial Cup is his target.”

Affaire D’Honneur was a general 16-1 for the Vincent O’Brien County Hurdle.

Keighley ponder Solstice Star options

One horse that will go down the handicap route at the festival, although owing to much the same problem as Affaire D’Honneur connections are unsure as to which race, is Solstice Star.

Martin Keighley’s six-year-old will go in search of his sixth consecutive win of the season, the last two coming at the track, and the trainer is hopeful of sneaking into the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle, for which he is a best-priced 20-1 with bet365.

“He will stick to the handicaps,” said Keighley of the novice. “The conditions of the Martin Pipe race are the most ideal, but he is on 134 and right on the borderline of getting in.

“I’ve been in touch with the handicapper and he may get reassessed as a horse of Paul Nicholls’ who he had in third last time went and won at Haydock and is favourite for the Fred Winter. He might go up for not running, which I don’t normally like but it might just get him in.

“He loves it there and he’ll have entries in the Coral Cup and County as well and you’d hope he’d get in one of them. I think the Martin Pipe race suits the most. Stepping up half a mile on drier ground, plus Killian Moore gets on so well with him and is one of the best conditionals.”

Supreme for Charbel

Kim Bailey’s Charbel was under consideration for the Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle and the Neptune Investment Management Novices’ Hurdle, but his trainer on Monday confirmed the Supreme was his prefered target.

The 11-length winner of the Sky Bet Supreme Scottish Trial Novices’ Hurdle at Musselburgh earlier this month got within two and three-quarter lengths of Yanworth at Ascot back in December, but will take on Min rather than step up in trip for a rematch with Alan King’s even-money shot.

“He won’t run between now and the festival and he will most probably go for the Supreme,” said Bailey. “The horse is improving and he wants good ground. He’s an exciting horse, he’s very good. He’s a chaser in the making and he’s only just beginning to get his act together so I am loving what he has already done.”
