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.John Gosden's triumphant weekend could not extend to Chantilly yesterday where his Ryafan made the running in the Prix de Diane but faded into fourth behind Vereva. Peter Chapple-Hyam's Dances with Dreams finished last of the 12 runners. It was the second win in the Classic for the owner- trainer-jockey combination of the Aga Khan, Alain de Royer Dupre and Gerald Mosse following Shemaka's 1993 victory.
"Vereva is a fast-improving filly," de Royer Dupre said, ''though I wouldn't be sure that she'd stay one and a half miles. The Eclipse is a possible target."
In the Grand Prix de Chantilly Chapple-Hyam's Royal Court finished last of five behind the fast-finishing Steward.
Rather like Benny The Dip at Epsom, Touch Gold rallied to land the Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park on Saturday to deny Silver Charm the American Triple Crown. The Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner had looked set for a historic win when getting the better of a duel with Free House with a hundred yards to go.
