| Former jockey Hayley Turner has been awarded an OBE for services to horse racing in the Queens Birthday Honours list. Nottinghamshire-born Turner, 33, was crowned joint-champion apprentice in 2005 and retired at the end of last season after regularly breaking new ground during her career.She became the first female rider to win a Group One contest outright in Britain when steering the David Simcock-trained Dream Ahead to victory in the July Cup at Newmarket in 2011 and followed up when Margot Did won the Nunthorpe Stakes for Michael Bell a month later. Simcock supplied Turner with another victory at the top level courtesy of Im A Dreamer in the Beverly D Stakes at Arlington in 2012.Turner - the first woman to ride 100 winners in a calendar year in 2008 - was part of the Girls team which claimed a memorable success at the Shergar Cup in August last year.She also rode at the World All-Star Jockeys Challenge in Japan and was successful aboard Win Phoenix at Sapporo racecourse.Another notable win for Turner was the 2010 Lancashire Oaks at Haydock on Barshiba for David Elsworth in the colours of Jeff Smith.She was narrowly denied ending on a high when second aboard Buonarroti in the November Handicap at Doncaster.Her riding years were not without problems, however, most significantly suffering a head injury in bad fall on the gallops in 2009 and being hurt at Doncaster in 2013.Since hanging up her riding boots, Turner has taken an increasingly prominent media role, doing regular stints for dedicated racing channel At The Races.Its been really difficult trying to keep it a secret, its such an honour and I cant quite believe it, she told Press Association Sport.My family are not from a racing background, but my mum was a riding instructor. When it came to deciding on something to do with my life, I went into racing because I really enjoyed riding and I wasnt academic.Being a jockey took me all over the world, I rode winners in France, Italy, Germany, Japan, South Africa and America - there arent many jobs that take you to those places.Its so nice to be recognised. Its a tough job but the highs are brilliant. One day you are a hero but the next you start all over again.I had some bad injuries, particularly the one at Doncaster, that was the toughest to come back from, but my family and friends gave me loads of support and I got my confidence back. I was able to leave on a high, which I was determined to do.I rode some big winners, obviously the Group Ones were great, but one of my most memorable rides was the first one back from a head injury. Id been signed off for a year, but the neurosurgeon who treated me helped me appeal and I was back after four months.I rode at Ascot and finished second and the crowd cheered me back in, that was very emotional.The main reason I gave up was it is a hard life going racing every day when you have to spend roughly five hours a day in your car. It doesnt leave you with time for a social life, you cant plan anything. Now I can live a normal life.I realised it was time to quit when I woke up and didnt fancy driving to Haydock one day. It set the alarm bells ringing.Hopefully there are more girls going to make the breakthrough. Josephine Gordon is doing well, but Id like to see her get some better rides. The key is when you lose your claim (as an apprentice).That was when I realised I could make a living out of it, when I started being paid the same as Frankie Dettori and Ryan Moore for a ride and I was still having winners.Ive been keeping busy since I finished. I work for At The Races, Im appearing on a Radio 5Live Sports Panel, Im at a Longines Women In Sport awards ceremony then its Ascot all next week. And I still ride out for James Fanshawe.Turner was apprenticed to Bell in her early years and he said on her retirement: She was with us a long time and has certainly been an ambassador for the sport.She rode lots of good winners for us, but I thought her ride on Im A Dreamer in particular was out of the top drawer, and on a global stage, too.I cant think of anyone that could have ridden the horse better.

In a matchup of teams battling head-to-head for the final playoff spot in Major League Soccers Western Conference, the Whitecaps run to the post-season took a hard hit when FC Dallas blew open a tie game with two goals in the final minutes for a 3-1 victory Saturday night. Bouchon Hydro Flask France . -- C.J. Wilson parked his car and laughed while signing autographs for faceless fans who handed bats, balls and cards to the pitcher from the other side of a brick wall. http://www.hydroflaskbouteille.fr/ ." Those traits were clear to the 24,071 at Olympic Stadium on Saturday as the Impact dominated the scoring chances but settled for a 2-2 draw with the New York Red Bulls in a battle of still-winless Major League Soccer teams. Bouchon Hydro Flask Pas Cher . They probably ruined Tim Duncans hopes of a career change, though. Duncan wants to be a point guard, coach Gregg Popovich revealed Saturday, a wish that wont be granted. Hydro Flask France . According to a report from ESPN, the veteran safety has signed another one-year deal with the team Raiders, the team that drafted him, and who he returned to last year after a long stint with the Green Bay Packers.BROOKLYN - Raptors iron man DeMar DeRozan will miss his first game in nearly two years when Toronto faces the Brooklyn Nets in an important Atlantic Division showdown on Monday. DeRozan, who did not make the trip to Brooklyn, sprained his left foot/ankle in Saturdays loss to the Clippers. X-rays were negative but there is no timetable for his return. The Raptors leading scorer sustained the injury early in the second quarter after coming down on the foot of Hedo Turkoglu. Slow to get up, DeRozan stayed in the game for just under seven minutes, also starting the third quarter before he hobbled to the locker room and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest. "He wanted to see if he could go, but he couldnt," Dwane Casey said following Saturdays loss. "He tried, but just couldnt get going." DeRozan hadnt seen the play when he spoke to the media after the game and couldnt say whether or not the defender had malicious intent. He and Turkoglu exchanged words on the court shortly after the injury occurred. "He was asking me what happened," said the Raptors guard. "Whether I was alright, and if I thought he came under me or not." Since the Raptors selected him wwith the ninth overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft, DeRozan has missed eight games in four-and-a-half seasons and just three since his rookie year.dddddddddddd Seventh in the NBA in minutes played, DeRozan is averaging career-bests 21.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists this season. Already missing Landry Fields, who underwent a surgical procedure on his wrist last week, the Raptors will be shorthanded at the wing positions for however long DeRozan is out. With John Salmons playing through a sore back, its unlikely the 34-year-old will be able to absorb DeRozans minutes. Casey will undoubtedly lean on sophomore Terrence Ross, coming off a remarkable 51-point career game. DeRozans injury could create an opportunity for Steve Novak to find his way back into the rotation and Greivis Vasquez may see more time in the backcourt alongside Kyle Lowry, depending on the matchup. Patrick Patterson made the trip to Brooklyn and is expected to play Monday after taking a Blake Griffin elbow to the face and breaking his nose on Saturday. Tyler Hansbrough, who has missed 13 straight games with an ankle injury, is also with the team and will be a game-time decision. ' ' ' |
