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.An afternoon of winning favourites at Carlisle yesterday saw the Tote Jackpot won for the first time in nearly a fortnight. Although the meagre return will have disappointed some it still paid more than a starting- price accumulator.
"The pool built up to pounds 418,960, but with five winning favourites and the other winner a second favourite there were 1,056.89 winning units," the Tote's spokesman, Geoffrey Webster, said. "The dividend was pounds 281.40, which compares to the starting-price equivalent of pounds 154.35."
The day's pool started with a carry-over of pounds 194,000 as the jackpot had not been won since the Lingfield card on 6 January.
