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.

The 31-year-old forward did not travel with the team to Carolina.TSN Hockey Insiders Bob McKenzie and Darren Dreger have the latest on expanded video review, changes to overtime, face-off modifications and the NHL potentially allowing kicked-in goals. Are GMs any closer to a consensus on expanded video review that would include goaltender interference? Bob McKenzie: I wouldnt go as so far as to say that theyre reaching consensus, but they are having some scintillating conversations that we never heard before on goalie interference and that is this - in the breakout group that they had today, a couple of the general managers, Brian Burke and Bryan Murray amongst others, said that, if they want to go to review goaltender interference, they would like the referees to be able to it on the ice, in the penalty box with a monitor there, NFL-style. Thats never really been discussed before. The NHL has always been hesitant to do it. It will be interesting to see whether it gets any support from the larger group on Tuesday. Darren Dreger: Additonal video review is generally a hot-button topic at these meetings. Weve talked, seemingly, on an annual basis about the coachs challenge. Well again, that has legs. Theres some concern as to how you work out the details. The devil is in the details with the criteria. If the puck leaves the zone, does that nullify the coachs challenge? If theres a change in possession, does that nullify the challenge? I think you could see some real traction on additional video review for goaltender interference, but also the puck off the net that ends up in the goal and, perhaps, looking at offsides, like the Matt Duchene goal scored last year. That still haunts the NHL and video review could have stopped that. Could we see it expanded in time for the playoffs? Dreger: Very, very unlikely. I think its a long shot at best because theres a review process that the NHL has to go through that includes the competition committee and, ultimately, the Board of Governors would have to sign off on it during the Stanley Cup finals. Ken Hollands proposal for a three-on-three overtime, as they try to reduce the number of shootouts, seemed to be gaining momentum. Has it now hit a major roadblock? McKenzie: It certainly seems ass if that momentum has dissipated.dddddddddddd Everybody who was talking about it at the November general managers meetings in Toronto arent talking about it now. Glen Sather, New York Rangers general manager, called three-on-three overtime a pipe dream. Nobody seems to be talking that up too much, but what they are talking about is, potentially, doing a dry scrape of the ice before overtime instead of after, when they normally do it before the shootout, and going to the long change format, that is with the goaltender in the same position as he is in the second period, furthest away from the teams bench. A much harder change that usually results in more goal-scoring in the second period. Face-offs and Face-off markings were also under scrutiny on Monday. What options for change are there? Dreger: Doug Armstrong of the St. Louis Blues pitched a novel idea, stealing from the Olympic tournament, in how the alignment was used in the Olympics, with the spacing between the hashmarks. In the NHL, theres just a three-foot separation. In the Olympics, it was five feet and, should the NHL consider that, it would create more space and there would be less contact, so the forwards could have some more room to move. Another face-off idea, and I think its a long shot at best, is trying to get rid of wasted time in throwing the centremen out of the face-off circle when hes completed an illegal draw. Move that centre back one foot is an idea that was pitched on day one. Some are intrigued by it to the point that they want further discussion, but I dont see this one flying. Is the NHL seriously considering counting all goals kicked in with the skate on the ice? McKenzie: Well, they are certainly talking about it and its a big step forward. They are looking at a liberalized kicking-in of goals, but were going to wait to see. You just never know. Dreger: Im sure the Players Association will have some input on that and, certainly, any overtime modifications being made. We know that Mathieu Schneider, Joe Reekie and Rob Zamuner will attend Tuesdays meetings and the sense is that they have some thoughts of their own on some tweaks or changes that might help grow the game.
