Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Arch Angel's disqualification from first place in the last Jackpot race at Southwell yesterday cost one punter a share of the biggest pool for nearly a year.
The Tote's spokesman, Geoffrey Webster, said: "Coming to the last race there was pounds 1.60 going on to the favourite, People Direct, and 10p on Mutee and Arch Angel. If Arch Angel had not been disqualified, a Tote Direct betting-shop customer would have collected pounds 14,069.
"As it is, pounds 198,162 is carried over to Carlisle. This is the biggest pool since it built up during last year's Cheltenham Festival and ended up at pounds 922,827 at Exeter on 23 March."
