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.

Abreeze was a five-length winner of the Grass Widows Maiden at Sandown yesterday. Despite Frankie Dettori on board, the colt drifted in the betting from even money to 7-2.

The Italian had only to push out the colt once they had found racing room in the straight, emphatically beating the 5-4 favourite Dark Moondancer.

Tommy Albertrani, assistant trainer to Godolphin's Saeed bin Suroor, said the Danzig juvenile was only one of a number of useful two-year-olds soon to be unleashed on the racecourse by the stable.

He said: "Abreeze is big, game and has plenty of talent and a lot of scope. I would expect him to improve on this win." Abreeze received a 25-1 quote from Corals for next year's 2,000 Guineas.
