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

Tepin (Julien Leparoux) records emphatic victory at Churchill Downs

Report: USA, Saturday

Churchill Downs: Churchill Distaff Turf Mile (Grade 2) 1m, turf, 4yo+ f/m

BRILLIANT North American racemare Tepin (Mark Casse/ Julien Leparoux) signed off on domestic duties before her visit to Royal Ascot with yet another utterly dominant performance to win the Churchill Distaff Turf Mile.

With the Churchill Downs racecaller dubbing her ‘The Queen of the Turf’, the five-year-old daughter of Bernstein posted a straightforward 3½-length victory in the $300,000 contest, in which she was sent off the 3-10 favourite.

After the race, trainer Mark Casse confirmed that the plan now is to travel to Britain for the Queen Anne Stakes. “I guess we better start figuring out how we do this,” he said. “As long as she is happy and healthy, the next day or two we’ll map out a plan. So I guess Royal Ascot here we come.”

An Eclipse Award winner last year after her memorable Breeders’ Cup Mile success, Tepin has now won nine of her last 11 starts; indeed, but for a nose and a head, she would have gone unbeaten in seven in 2015, and she has barely been extended in winning four more this term.

Unsurprisingly, Tepin tops the Royal Ascot wish list, and bookmakers Paddy Power cut her to 6-1 (from 8) for the Queen Anne after this latest success.

“We’ll start talking about it tomorrow,” added Casse, whose main base is at Woodbine in Canada. “We’ve already done some blood work in advance. She’s a great shipper. I would say that we would let her go not too early. This is home for her and she likes this racetrack and so we’ll try to stay here as long as we can.”

Breaking alertly from the inside box, Tepin sat four or five lengths behind habitual front-runner Isabella Sings, who was never going to last home after setting some hot early fractions.

With an Julien Leparoux as cool as a cucumber, Tepin closed up on the far turn, switched off the fence to corral the leader, and duly sprinted clear of the field, who were led home by Rainha Da Bateria.

“She’s just a champ,” said Leparoux. “She’s a very good filly; I’m blessed to be on her. She’s the best I’ve ever rode, that’s for sure. She is really just special. Every time you ask her for something she does it even better.

“Today I didn’t want to be too far from Johnny [Velazquez, on Isabella Sings]. I took her a little bit out of her comfort zone, but then she just reacts on the backside and came kicking at the end like she always does.”

Looking ahead to Royal Ascot, Leparoux added: “That would be a dream come true. I want to go there, and I think she deserves a shot there. I think she can be competitive there for sure.”

Churchill Downs: Humana Distaff (Grade 1) 7f, dirt, 4yo+ f/m

A big win here for ex-pat British trainer Simon Callaghan and the Coolmore team with Taris (Flavien Prat), who charges away from her rivals to break her Grade 1 duck with a rousing success.

Sent off just better than 3-1, the five-year-old raced a couple of lengths off the pace set by the speedy Stonetastic before rocketing past her at the furlong marker and going clear to win by 5¾ lengths.

Taris was purchased for $2.35m at the 2014 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky fall mixed sale. “There was a little bit of pressure with such a high purchase price, but she deserved it and she deserved it before this,” said former Newmarket-based Callaghan, who will target the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint.

“She’s amazing – she can run the mile but I think she is better at seven-eighths,” said winning jockey Flavien Prat.

The favourite Wavell Avenue, who had beaten the principals at the Breeders’ Cup, can finish only fourth in a dull effort.

Churchill Downs: Woodford Reserve Turf Classic (Grade 1) 1m1f, turf, 4yo+

Sent off nearly a 7-1 chance, Divisidero (Buff Bradley/Edgar Prado) gets the better of a tight finish with World Approval by a neck to register his first Grade 1 success in an eventful running of this $500,000 contest.

Two horses, Kasaqui and Triple Threat, come down entering the stretch; initial reports suggest neither horses nor jockeys are injured in the spill.

The winner is a four-year-old son of top turf sire Kitten’s Joy; he won the Grade 2 American Turf on this card 12 months ago.

Churchill Downs: Churchill Downs Stakes (Grade 2) 7f, dirt, 4yo+

A surprise victory for 14-1 shot Catalina Red (Jorge Navarro/Javier Castellano), who comes three wide into the stretch before holding Calculator by a length in a time of 1m20.79s (faster than the Grade 1 fillies in the Humana Distaff) to claim this $500,000 contest.

Although he had won a minor event at Tampa last month on his seasonal debut, the four-year-old showed vastly improved form here on his first start for Jorge Navarro to win his first Graded stakes.

Churchill Downs: Pat Day Mile (Grade 3) 1m, dirt, 3yo

Clearly this is a big day for Jorge Navarro. After Catalina Red’s surprise victory earlier on the card, the Florida-based trainer completes a Graded-stakes double with Sharp Azteca (Edgard Zayas).

Catalina Red was 14-1; this one is 13-1 as he, too, records his first Graded success, winning in even more striking fashion.

A bubble is seriously burst here. Bob Baffert’s much hyped maiden winner American Freedom, made hot favourite with connections mentioning the Preakness as a future target, finds it all too much and has nothing to offer in the final furlong.
