Dunwoody takes over on Teinein
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.A gentleman's agreement with the trainer Paul Nicholls will prevent Tony McCoy from riding Teinein, the favourite for Saturday's William Hill Handicap Hurdle at Sandown.
McCoy will instead ride Nicholls's Belmont King in Chepstow's Rehearsal Chase and his substitute on Teinein will be a jockey called Richard Dunwoody. The news of this booking did nothing to dissuade punters from backing Teinein and he is now 7-2, from 9-2, with the sponsor.
Ladbrokes, who now have the Tim Forster-trained favourite at 3-1, also report strong support for Direct Route, who is 8-1 from 14-1, and Silver Groom, who is 9-1 from 10-1.
