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.SLANEY NATIVE could earn himself a trip to the Cheltenham Festival when he makes his second appearance over fences in the Denny Gold Medal Chase at Leopardstown on Boxing Day.
"I want to find out how good he is," Jessica Harrington, his trainer, said yesterday. "I understand that Alexander Banquet will run in the Denny and the race should answer a few questions. Hopefully he will go for either the Arkle Trophy or the Cathcart Chase at Cheltenham."
The Grey Monk, a well-backed, runaway winner over hurdles at Haydock on his reappearance, will continue his build up to the Grand National with an outing at Cheltenham next month, in the Spa Hurdle, the grey's trainer, Nicky Richards, said yesterday.
