Racing: Captain in his element
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.ILL-PREPARED runners on the sticky going at Ascot today are likely to disappear faster than a republican in the Royal Enclosure. Rain affects the ground at the Berkshire course like few others, and the gatemen could benefit punters (for a change) by excluding any entries with doubtful stamina.
CAPTAIN DOLFORD (nap 2.30) struggled to get a run in a big field at Nottingham last time, but previously won by 15 lengths at Chepstow in conditions similar to today's. Dubacilla's improvement should continue in the next, while One Man (3.35) can repel the challenge of Mudahim.
