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.RICHARD DUNWOODY was the toast of the Embassy Tavern in Paignton, Devon, last night after he rode the winner of the race sponsored by the public house. The former champion jump jockey's success on Master Millfield at Newton Abbot was his first vicotry in Britain since returning from a neck injury sustained in a fall at Fontwell in early May.
"It's nice to be back in the winner's circle," Dunwoody said, "as I had trapped nerves in a vertebra in my neck which affected my bicep strength and reflexes and it took a long time to come right."
Master Millfield was given the usual Dunwoody kid-gloves treatment, threading his way through the field to hit the front two out before staying on to win by two lengths.
