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

AwtaadAwtaad and Galileo Gold will renew rivalry at Ascot   PICTURE: Alain Barr (racingpost.com/photos)

THE eagerly-anticipated clash between Classic winners Awtaad, Galileo Gold and The Gurkha is set to take place at Royal Ascot on Tuesday as all three colts featured among the eight declarations for the St James’s Palace Stakes.

Galileo Gold was an impressive winner of the Qipco 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket but had no answer to Awtaad in the Irish equivalent at the Curragh, while The Gurkha stormed clear to win the French 2,000 Guineas by a wide margin.

Further intrigue is added to the race by the return of Emotionless, who looked a leading contender for Classic honours before disappointing in the Dewhurst Stakes on his final start as a juvenile.

Emotionless missed the 2,000 Guineas but trainer Charlie Appleby is happy to let him take his chance in the St James’s Palace Stakes, where he will be ridden by William Buick.

“He’s had long time off and it’s a very, very hot race but the horse has come right, he looks good and it’s at the right time of year for him,” Buick said. “We still think he retains all the ability he had last year. He’s in at the deep end but we are looking forward to getting him back.”

Bookmakers make The Gurkha the general 6-4 favourite to provide trainer Aidan O’Brien with a fifth St James’s Palace Stakes in the last ten years, while Awtaad is next in the betting at 2-1.

Galileo Gold can be backed at 11-2 with Paddy Power to return to winning ways and Emotionless is 12-1 to strike on his reappearance.

The eight-runner field is completed by Zonderland, First Selection, Cymric and Ehtiraas.

International flavour

The meeting kicks off with the Queen Anne Stakes, in which American star Tepin will face 13 rivals.

The most notable absentees are Time Test – who is likely to instead contest the Prince of Wales’s Stakes on Wednesday – and Limato, whose connections would not have appreciated the deluge of rain that hit Ascot on Friday.

Fillies and mares dominate the betting for the Queen Anne Stakes as, in addition to Tepin, Ervedya and Esoterique are also towards the head of the market. The only colt trading at a single-figure price is Belardo, who is the general 9-2 third favourite.

King’s Stand speedsters

As expected, flying filly Acapulco has been declared for the King’s Stand Stakes by her trainer Wesley Ward. Ryan Moore, who partnered Acapulco to win last year’s Queen Mary, again takes the ride.

Acapulco will face 20 rivals at Ascot, including Mecca’s Angel, who got the better of the battle when the pair collided in the Nunthorpe Stakes at York last year.

Mecca’s Angel has been well supported due to the recent easing of conditions and is the general 5-2 favourite.

Last year’s winner Goldream is back to defend his crown, while nine-year-old Sole Power, the hero of the previous two years, will be searching for a sixth Group 1 victory.

Sole Power will be ridden by Christophe Soumillion for the first time.
