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.

Canon Can, the Doncaster Cup winner, headed the 55 acceptors at yesterday's forfeit stage for the Cesarewitch Handicap, to be run over two miles and two furlongs at Newmarket on Saturday, 18 October.

Despite a 4lb penalty for his Doncaster success, raising his weight to 10st, Henry Cecil's four-year-old, third in last year's event, is the 12-1 co-favourite with the Tote.

Also on 12-1 are John Gosden's progressive gelding Media Star, runner- up in the Ebor Handicap, and Sausalito Bay, Ian Balding's improving three- year-old. Inchcailloch, last year's winner Shaft Of Light, Top Cees and Mawared have accepted but Old Red, the 1995 Cesarewitch winner, is out.
