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.ODDS quoted by Britain's three main bookmakers rarely vary widely, so the opening betting on Saturday's Irish St Leger provides a refreshing change. Ladbrokes and Paddy Power, a leading Irish firm, have come up with distinctly different prices on the Classic.
Power take the view that Vintage Crop, a local hero after his success in the Melbourne Cup and the winner of last year's Irish St Leger, is a 'good thing' and have him at 5-4. With Ladbrokes he shares favouritism at 5-2 with Bob's Return and Kithanga, but anyone holding a Paddy Power account or prepared to make a quick trip across the Irish Sea can avail themselves of 6-1 about Bob's Return and a healthy 14-1 about Kithanga.
Sara Cumani, wife of Kithanga's trainer Luca, confirmed yesterday that the filly, second to Coigach in the Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster last week, is a likely runner. 'She has come out of the race at Doncaster fine and we are very pleased with her,' she said.
