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

Silviniaco Conti cut for Aintree on day of Grand National clues

Silviniaco Conti wins the Sodexo Ascot Chase

Silviniaco Conti is now generally second-favourite for the Grand National

ONLY four days after the weights were published for the Crabbie’s Grand National, Saturday heralded the first assaults made on the ante-post favouritism of Many Clouds, who has topped the market ever since winning last year’s renewal.

There were no fewer than half a dozen National entries cut across the boards on Saturday, most notably impressive Ascot Chase winner Silviniaco Conti.

A dual Betfair Chase and King George VI Chase winner, Silviniaco Conti would nonetheless receive weight from Many Clouds at Aintree, as would top-class Irish chasers Boston Bob and On His Own, first and second respectively in the Bobbyjo Chase at Fairyhouse, one of Ireland’s major Grand National trials.

Paul Nicholls, trainer of Silviniaco Conti, said: “The Grand National is a definite possibility for Silviniaco Conti. It is highly likely he could run. He is going to be arguably well in now and Noel [Fehily, jockey] is keen on the idea.”

On the back of those comments, Silviniaco Conti, rated 177 at his best, moved into second-favouritism for the National and is now a general 20-1 chance for Aintree glory.

Mullins’ team takes shape

Willie Mullins has shadowed Paul Nicholls at every turn this season and he too now has legitimate National contenders, with Boston Bob (assigned 10st 10lb for the National) and On His Own (11st 1lb) being considered for the jumps season’s most lucrative prize. Bobbyjo Chase third Turban (10st 10lb), another Mullins runner, was also cut for Aintree.

Referring specifically to Boston Bob, who is 50-1 with Ladbrokes but generally a 33-1 shot and shortest of the trio on most lists, Mullins said: “He’s back to form on ground he wouldn’t be bred for. I think the owner [Graham Wylie] is keen to run him at Aintree and we’ll see how he comes out of this race.

“We’re aiming all three for the Grand National at this minute,” he added.

More options for Lee

Rookie trainer Kerry Lee also added to her Aintree options on Saturday, as Bishops Road took the Betfred Grand National Trial at Haydock on just his second start for the yard.

Though he had never run much beyond three miles before, few would doubt Bishops Road’s stamina after his determined win in gruelling conditions at Haydock and he is now a 33-1 shot for Aintree. Runner-up Broadway Buffalo also shortened, to as low as 25-1 though he can still be backed at 66s with Ladbrokes.

Lee said of Bishops Road: “He is by Heron Island, the sire of Black Hercules who is favourite for the four-miler at Cheltenham, so we were hopeful he would get the trip today.

“Alan Halsall [owner] and I bought him with the National in mind and on we go. We saw him run in Ireland a lot and when he won at Leopardstown I was really impressed.”

There was another, unexpected mover at Haydock. Mr Moonshine, a former Becher Chase third, pulled off a 33-1 shock in the Pertemps Qualifier on the card and was cut to 40-1 with bet365. Others were less taken and left him at 100-1, possibly reflecting his position in the Aintree weights, out of the handicap and currently in 94th place.
