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.Brian Meehan's juvenile, Challenges, had to settle for fifth in the Prix des Yearlings over seven furlongs at Deauville yesterday. John Reid's mount showed good early speed before weakening from the distance and finishing four and half lengths behind the impressive winner Plissetskaia. Dominque Boeuf's mount (5-1) made smooth progress one out and ran on well to beat Stella Berine by two lengths in the French juvenile test.
Chris Wall's Silca Key Service ran well in defeat in the Listed Prix de la Calonne over a mile at Deauville. The front-running British filly weakened inside the final quarter mile to finish eighth as Astorg (43- 10) battled her way to a three quarters of a length win over Pan Galactic. Silca Key Service, ridden by John Reid, was beaten around six lengths.
