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.Small fields look inevitable at both this weekend's meetings and the course at Bonvilston, near Cardiff, is being watered for today's rearranged Countryside Alliance Club fixture.
Khatani, beaten a neck in the ladies' open on this card last year, is entered in the men's event (3.45) this time and is a horse who must have fast going. He has really hit form now the ground has dried out and followed up last month's Rhydygwern win under a 7lb penalty at Trecoed last Saturday.
There were only 23 runners at Upcott Cross in Devon on Wednesday, but the going should be better on the old moorland turf at Bratton Down tomorrow.
Worcestershire-based Shuil Monty will be fresher than most in the intermediate (2.35) as he was having only his third outing when unseating Adrian Wintle three out when in contention at Bredwardine last month. His second to Coole Venture at Cold Harbour is better form than the rest of the field have shown.
Surrey raider Allow Dancer looks a stand-out in the restricted (4.20) after his hunter-chase third at Folkestone over an inadequate two mile five furlongs.
FIXTURES: TODAY: Countryside Alliance Club at Bonvilston. (2.0). 4m W of Cardiff, near A48, 5m from exit 33, M4. TOMORROW: Tiverton Staghounds at Bratton Down, north Devon. (2.0). Alongside A399, 11m N of South Molton, 3m S of Blackmoor Gate.
