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.Dr Johnson, a leading hope for the St Leger a week on Saturday, will miss the race after injuring himself, the colt's trainer Charles O'Brien said yesterday.
The chestnut, successful in four of his six starts this term, was an 11-2 chance in William Hill's betting on the strength of his win at Leopardstown last month. His absence has prompted William Hill to shorten the prices of their market leaders for the race, Silver Patriarch and Stowaway, to 5-2 from 11-4, with Andre Fabre's Vertical Speed, who began the day at 11-2, now a 7-2 chance.
