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.Anyone whose Boxing Day was ruined last year by Barton Bank's last-fence fall when 12 lengths clear in the King George VI Chase at Kempton will have the chance to relive the experience all over again this year.
The 1993 winner of the race was installed 4-1 favourite by William Hill after an entry of 19 was announced for the big race yesterday.
Last year's lucky winner Algan is in the field, as are Master Oats, who won the Cheltenham Gold Cup in March, Martha's Son, One Man and the Irish hopes, Sound Man and Merry Gale.
Kempton's clerk of the course Michael Webster said: "With such a wealth of top class entries from three different countries, the 1995 King George looks certain to be not only the mid-season championship of chasing, but also one of the great international horse races."
King George VI Chase (Kempton, Boxing day) Latest prices (William Hill): 4-1 Barton Bank, 9-2 Merry Gale, 6-1 Sound Man, 7-1 Dublin Flyer, Master Oats, 8-1 Martha's Son, One Man. Others on request.
