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.Nicky Henderson will run both Amtrak Express and Big Matt in Saturday's Racing Post Handicap Chase at Kempton, thus posing a dilemma for stable jockey Mick Fitzgerald.
With both horses boasting recent winning form and the bookmakers unable to separate the Lambourn-trained pair in ante-post lists for the three miles contest, Fitzgerald admitted yesterday he is facing "one of the toughest decisions I've ever had to make".
"It's like Willie Carson with two to choose from in the 1,000 Guineas. It's very, very tricky," the jockey added.
"Amtrak Express has won the Agfa Chase and Big Matt was the winner of the Victor Chandler Chase. They are two horses who could both win and there is only a pound between them in the weights.''
