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.All-weather racing looks likely to form the sole diet for punters until well into next week as snow and ice grips the country.
Channel 4 have contingency plans to ensure there is live racing to televise on Saturday. In the likely event that the meeting at Sandown is frozen off, the all-weather Flat fixture at Lingfield will be covered instead.
Channel 4 Racing's executive producer, Andrew Franklin, said: "The entire team will be at Lingfield and we will present The Morning Line from there. It will be the first time we have been to Lingfield since 1985."
Prospects for Lingfield's turf card tomorrow are grim. The track will be inspected at 9.30am today, as will the day's other turf venues, Sedgefield and Towcester.
