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.Assessor is the sole British runner in tomorrow's Group One Prix Royal-Oak (French St Leger) at Longchamp, following the defection of last year's winner, Moonax. The Richard Hannon-trained Assessor, to be ridden by Richard Hughes, won the 1992 running of the event and ran a good race when chasing home Further Flight in the Jockey Club Cup last time.
The six-year-old faces stiff competition in Sunshack and Always Earnest, winners this year of the Coronation Cup and Prix du Cadran respectively.
The Rae Guest-trained Millyant attempts to repeat last year's success in the Group Three Prix du Petit Couvert over five furlongs on the same card. Other British runners in that sprint are Hannon's Fire Dome and Martin Fetherston- Godley's Ayr Gold Cup winner, Royale Figurine.
n The Group One Gran Criterium, Italy's premier juvenile race which was due to be run in Milan tomorrow, will not now take place owing to industrial action by stable lads.
