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.PRIZE money for the 1994 Cheltenham Festival will be up more than 11 per cent on last year's total figure of pounds 1,375,000. Sponsors will contribute a record pounds 503,000, an increase of pounds 66,000 on 1993.
Today is the final day for entries for the Gold Cup and Queen Mother Champion Chase. Cheltenham racecourse yesterday reminded owners and trainers not to miss the new deadline.
The races are among nine championship events at the three-day Festival from 15-17 March. The second new entry date is 19 January, for the Champion Hurdle and the Stayers Hurdle.
