Flat plan jumps gun
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.Trainers yesterday expressed disappointment at Nottingham racecourse's plan to discontinue jump racing. Five of its National Hunt fixtures will be switched elsewhere, with the remaining four changed to Flat cards.
David Nicholson, the leading trainer at the course, said: "It is a good track. I am disappointed by the move." Owen Brennan, second to Nicholson in the lists, said: "It is a damn good course, they get plenty of runners and it is a good track for novices as there is plenty of room."
Cheltenham yesterday confirmed that the National Hunt Festival is to remain a three-day meeting, despite the success of racing on a fourth day this year.
