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.Richard Dunwoody is the man likely to step in at Kim Bailey's stable for Norman Williamson, who will be out of action for up to six months because of a broken femur sustained on Monday.
Dunwoody, the champion jump jockey for the last three seasons, was a 33-1 shot for this season's title after breaking up with Martin Pipe. Now he has been cut to 14-1 with William Hill, having been booked to ride for Bailey - the trainer of the Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Master Oats and Champion Hurdler Alderbrook - at the end of the week. Dunwoody's agent, Robert Parsons, said: "We will know more after Richard sees Kim Bailey tonight."
Jockeys' Championship: William Hill: 8-13 David Bridgwater, 15-8 Adrian Maguire, 9-2 Tony McCoy, 14-1 Richard Dunwoody.
