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.

Electrocutionist is likely to drop back to 10 furlongs for his next start, a clash with Dylan Thomas at Leopardstown in September being high on his agenda.

Passed fit only at the eleventh hour after being cast in his box overnight, Electrocutionist made a typically valiant contribution to an epic race at Ascot on Saturday, beaten just half a length by Hurricane Run.

"We'll be looking at the Irish Champion Stakes for him now," Simon Crisford, the Godolphin manager, said yesterday. Electrocutionist will doubtless head to the Breeders' Cup at Churchill Downs in November, but the Maktoums' most important runner there may instead be Bernadini.

Making his first appearance since running away with the Preakness Stakes in May, Bernadini won the Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga on Saturday by nine lengths.
