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.Adrian Maguire now trails Richard Dunwoody in the jump jockeys' title race by 11 after the champion scored a double at Hereford yesterday with Saffaah and Petty Bridge.
Petty Bridge, who had been partnered by Maguire when winning on all four previous runs this season, was ridden by Dunwoody yesterday because Maguire had been claimed by his stable for Master Jolson, who finished last of the four runners.
Paul James, the trainer of Petty Bridge, said later: "It has always been the plan to come here for this as the owners are having their Christmas party here today.''
Today's card at Hexham has been abandoned because the course is badly waterlogged. The meeting, which fell victim to snow 12 months ago, is the eighth of the season to be lost so far.
