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.CRAZY HORSE, a long odds-on favourite, attracted a staggering bet of pounds 25,000 at Kelso yesterday. The bet at odds of 1-5 won pounds 5,000 as the gelding trotted up by 11 lengths. Crazy Horse, sent off at 1-6 after opening at 2-7, looked a racing certainty after his last scalp, Major Sponsor, had gone on to record two easy wins.
The result was never in doubt as, from a long way out, Robbie Supple, his rider, was taking confident looks around even before his mount hit the front. Crazy Horse soon shot into a clear lead and with the race in the bag, Supple was able to ease down, allowing San Francisco to close to 11 lengths.
n Yesterday's meetings at Ascot and Southwell both fell victim to fog and today's card at Kempton is also threatened by fog if the forecast is correct.
n Adair has become the latest top American colt to join the Godolphin Classic team for 1999. Unlike previous US recruits Comeonmom and Worldly Manner, the newcomer is set to come to Europe to be aimed at the Derby.
