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

Meydan: stages six-race card on Thursday, starting at 4.10 GMT

Preview: UAE, Thursday

Meydan

THE unbeaten UAE 1,000 Guineas winner Polar River appears to have scared off the opposition and faces just two rivals in the Group 3 UAE Oaks over 1m1½f on the Meydan dirt on Thursday.

Winner of her three starts by a combined 31 lengths, Doug Watson’s filly is already favourite for the UAE Derby in just over three weeks time.

With the Kentucky Oaks a possible consideration, she will need to win both the remaining UAE Classics to justify such lofty aspirations.

Watson said: “She’s a very exciting filly. The trip in the UAE Oaks and Derby should really suit her and she’s learning with each race.

“We don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves but the Kentucky Oaks could be a possibility.”

Mike de Kock’s local debutante Vale Dori could prove the biggest test yet for Watson’s filly. A setback ruled her out of the UAE 1,000 Guineas prep and the big race itself but she won both her dirt outings in her native Argentina, including in Group 1 company.

De Kock said: “She’s very talented but has had problems. We’ve had a clear few weeks with her now but Polar River looks a champion so we’ll learn a lot.”

Rivals return in Balanchine

Seven have been declared for the 1m1f turf feature, the
Group 2 Balanchine Stakes, restricted to fillies and mares, six of whom clashed in the Group 2 Cape Verdi over a mile.

That was won in style by Godolphin’s Very Special, who will bid to emulate De Kock’s Sun Classique (2008), French challenger Cladocera (2015) and former stable companion, Sajjhaa (2013) by winning both races.

Trainer Saeed Bin Suroor said: “She won the Cape Verdi well but now has a penalty so this will be harder but the trip should suit and she’s in great form.”

Other British challengers

Tom Dascombe’s Excilly was second in the Cape Verdi but the Marco Botti-trained Euro Charline looks a stronger challenger for Britain and is one of three mounts on the card for Ryan Moore, who is riding in the UAE for the first time this year.

A Grade 1 winner, she was fourth in last year’s Dubai Turf on her sole local start so the chances are Botti has left a bit to work on with just over three weeks to that big-race target.

Roger Varian’s Battersea last month won a handicap over the same 1m6f turf course and distance as the Group 3 Nad Al Sheba Trophy, in which he faces 13 rivals, including the four who chased him home on that occasion.

The third that day was Godolphin’s Famous Kid who meets him on far better terms, and Bin Suroor said: “Conditions suit him well and he’s improved for that comeback. He should run a big race.”
