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.There is no horse racing in the country tomorrow but Britain is still going to the dogs, writes Ian Davies.
The British Greyhound Racing Board yesterday stressed that tomorrow night's meetings will go ahead. All horse racing and the afternoon greyhound meetings scheduled for tomorrow have been called off in respect for the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales. However, Geoffrey Thomas, the BGRB chief executive, said: "Greyhound racing should offer those wishing to go out on Saturday night the opportunity to do so."
Britain's challenge for Sunday's Moyglare Stud Stakes in Ireland was reduced to just Bahr yesterday when Crazee Mental was ruled out of the Group One race. Derek Haydn Jones, her trainer, pulled his filly out because she has not fully recovered from the injury that denied her a run in the Lowther Stakes.
A maximum of nine will contest Sunday's mile Group One Prix du Moulin de Longchamp after the defection of Deadly Dudley and Titus Livius.
