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.

Ante-post punters on the Ebor, who had a setback with the withdrawal of the fancied Celeric at the weekend, may still have something to cheer in tomorrow's race as Ambassador and Snow Princess, who had both been considered doubtful, are now likely to run.

The Barry Hills-trained Ambassador will have Willie Carson in the saddle, while Snow Princess's trainer, Lord Huntingdon, who had been worried that underfoot conditions would be too firm for the filly, walked the course yesterday and was pleased with what he found.

EBOR HANDICAP Ladbrokes: 4-1 Harbour Dues, 7-1 Beauchamp Jade, 8-1 Ambassador, 10-1 Snow Princess & Clerkenwell, 12-1 Better Offer, Corradini & Foundry Lane, 14-1 Top Cees, 16-1 Prussian Blue, Desert Frolic & Midnight Legend, 20-1 others
