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

Race horse trainer WILLIE MUSSON

Willie Musson: has trained lots of horses for Michael Broughton

  PICTURE: Martin Lynch (racingpost.com/photos)  

 By David Ashforth 6:01PM 22 MAY 2016 

THE big owners’ colours are familiar but plenty of smaller owners’ colours have become familiar, too, not by volume of runners nor association with star names but through long perseverance; perseverance by the owners and perseverance by the watchers.

In the case of Broughtons Vision (Windsor 6.15) there is a triple clue because the red and black quartered colours have been on regular display since the 1980s, the horses that carry them are usually called Broughton something or other and Willie Musson trains.

Lots and lots of Broughtons, over 70 since 1988, most of them owned by Broughton Thermal Insulation, which is another way of saying owned by Michael Broughton snr, now 72.

The peak years were 2003 and 2010, with nine winners. In 2003 Broughton’s horses collected more win prize money than in any other season, £44,587. That was thanks largely to Classic Millennium’s four wins, although she was still rated only 57 for her final success, at York.

Cumulatively there have been plenty of winners but never a star and the same applies to Musson. Now 66, he has held a licence since 1976 and for the past 30 years has trained from his Newmarket base at Saville House.

In 1983 Musson won the Group 3 Henry II Stakes at Sandown with Ore, who was runner up to Gildoran in the following year’s Ascot Gold Cup but like many other trainers he works with modest fare.

Numerically, Musson’s best year was 2006 with 25 winners but the total slipped to three last year and Rocket Rob’s win at Lingfield in January has been the yard’s sole success so far this year.

It might have been more if Broughtons Fancy hadn’t made her debut in a selling race at Newmarket last August. After finishing second, she was claimed by David Evans for £10,000 and, after a string of placed efforts, won three times this year before being claimed by Andrew Reid at Salisbury earlier this month.

Somehow it seems wrong for a Broughton not to be racing in those red and black colours and trained by Musson. It is almost two years since Broughton Thermal Insulation’s colours were last successful.

Still, Broughtons Vision made a promising debut when third at Kempton last September and if not today then perhaps later this year the three-year-old will put things right.

Meanwhile, at Leicester (5.00), Harry Bosch’s younger half-brother, Mickey Haller, tries to stop being a maiden for owner Michael Buckley.

It’s not the horse that’s a half-brother of Harry Bosch but the character in Michael Connelly’s The Lincoln Lawyer. Buckley, better known as a jumps owner with Nicky Henderson, must be a Connelly fan.

Maybe it’s because Haller once said, “There is nothing like the start of a season, before all the one-run losses, pitching breakdowns and missed opportunities. Before reality sets in.”

That’s baseball but racing’s much the same. Perhaps that’s why Buckley sold three time winner Harry Bosch, who now races for S.Brown and E.Partridge from Julia Feilden’s yard.Go on Mickey! Go on Harry!
