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

Report: Warwick, Saturday

Betfred Classic Chase (Grade 3) 3m5f, 5yo+

A WEEK after capturing the Coral Welsh Grand National Kerry Lee added another major staying handicap chase to her CV when a brilliant leap at the last helped Russe Blanc deny Midnight Prayer in a thrilling finish to Warwick’s biggest race.

The 20-1 winner, a rarity in being described as white, was partnered by Charlie Poste, who performed a minor miracle after his saddle slipped during the £60,000 contest.

He led on Russe Blanc entering the home straight, but Midnight Prayer, whose stamina was assured as he won the 4m National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival two years ago, looked a big danger.

The threat appeared to increase before the last, but Poste conjured a fine jump from his willing partner, who won by three and three-quarter lengths from the 15-2 runner-up.

Dromnea filled third at 16-1, while Houdlon Des Obeaux was fourth at 15-2.

All white for Poste

Poste, who won the Welsh National on Le Beau Bai for Lee’s father Richard in 2011, said: “Unfortunately because of a loose horse running wide going down to the last down the back, my horse has gone with him and the saddle has half gone around his belly.

“We had to jump the last down the back with it halfway around, which was a bit hairy, but luckily I got my weight right and back where I wanted.

“This lad really wants it. He got a really good jump at the last; he came up for me big and bold and from then he wasn’t going to be denied. He stays all day and is as tough as old boots.

“I don’t know if we’ve got to the bottom of him yet. Credit to Richard and Kerry – they’ve given him all the time to mature and it’s come to fruition now.”

‘A really nice model’

Lee, a former member of Channel 4 Racing’s production team, took over from her father in the summer and has enjoyed a fine start to her new career, capped by the victory of Mountainous in the Welsh National recently.

The family’s trademark are mud-loving staying chasers and Russe Blanc, owned by Mark Jackson, fits that profile perfectly.

“A lot of hard work has gone into this horse,” said Lee. “The girls at home have done a fantastic job with him.

“Dad spotted him at the sales as a three-year-old and thought he was a really nice model. It was Dad’s eye that bought this horse and Mark also fell in love with him when he came to see him.”

Lee is set to campaign Russe Blanc over extreme distances and has the Betfred Eider Chase at Newcastle on February 27 in mind for Mountainous, whose long-term aim is the Crabbie’s Grand National.

Plans for Prayer

The Aintree showpiece could also be on Midnight Prayer’s agenda.

“I don’t think he will go to Cheltenham as there isn’t anything for him,” said trainer Alan King. “We’ll find a race – he might need a bit more weight for the National.”
