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.Julian Pritchard kept himself in touch with Evan Williams in the championship race with two winners at Chaddesley Corbett on Monday and one at Lifton on Tuesday.
With 35 winners he is now just two behind the Bridgend-based rider, who looked to have the mens' title firmly in his grasp after landing a four-timer at Bonvilston on Saturday while Pritchard was riding at Stratford.
Williams was desperately unlucky at Chaddesley Corbett as Simply Better, his mount in the confined event, broke a leg when in a clear lead after the second last. With just three fixtures left their duel could continue until the final day of the season on 15 June, a scenario reminiscent of 1998 when Pritchard and Andrew Dalton tied for the championship on 33.
SATURDAY'S FIXTURES
