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

Blue De Vega

Keane: “I’m excited and really looking forward to riding Blue De Vega.”

COLIN KEANE, one of the bright young stars among the ranks of Irish jockeys, is excited at the prospect of partnering Blue De Vega in Saturday’s Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas, in which he believes his mount has a good chance of thriving for the step up in trip.

The 21-year-old will be seeking a first Classic success – as will the colt’s trainer Michael O’Callaghan.

Blue De Vega was on Thursday among eight final declarations for the Curragh Classic, in which his rivals will include 2,000 Guineas winner Galileo Gold and Air Force Blue, who will be attempting to make up for his poor performance at Newmarket.

Keane, who rides most of Qatar Racing’s horses in Ireland, has partnered Blue De Vega on the colt’s last two starts, winning the Group 3 Killavullan Stakes over seven furlongs on the son of Lope De Vega at Leopardstown in October and, more recently, when finishing second to Awtaad –  a rival again on Saturday –  in the Listed Tetrarch Stakes at the Curragh earlier this month.

‘He should improve’

Keane, who finished second to Pat Smullen in the jockeys’ title last year, having been champion apprentice in 2014, said on Thursday: “I’m excited and really looking forward to riding Blue De Vega on Saturday. He came out of his Tetrarch run well and there should be a nice bit of improvement in him.

“The Tetrarch rode like a good race. It was his first run of the year and when they quickened he was caught a bit flat-footed for a few strides before getting his second wind and running on well. I think that going a mile for the first time should suit him well.”

Blue De Vega is a general 10-1 shot for the first Classic of the Irish season behind 7-4 favourite Galileo Gold. Air Force Blue is best at 11-4, with Awtaad 11-2  and Air Vice Marshal generally 6-1.

Going changes on Thursday

The ground on the straight course at the Curragh, which was good to firm, good in places early on Thursday following 2.2mm of rain overnight, was changed to good later in the morning following a further 3.4mm after 8am.

Speaking on Thursday, the track’s racing manager Paul Hensey said: “We’ve had only 1mm of rain since the ground description was changed this morning. It’s been a bright, warm and breezy day here and there is the possibility of further showers. We’ll walk the track early in the morning and give an update.”

The ground on the round course was good, good to firm in places yesterday afternoon.
