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, shaken by a heavy fall from Edenakill Lad in the Carrick Hill Handicap Chase at Punchestown yesterday, bounced back with a superbly timed run to victory on board the favourite, Caitriona's Choice, in the Fairyland Handicap Hurdle.
However, the former champion gave up a later engagement in the novices' chase, as he was suffering pain from a muscle in his lower back.
Dunwoody will be in action in the same Herb Stanley colours when he partners Merry Gale at Leopardstown on Sunday.
The Horseracing Forensic Laboratory has reported that the analysis of the urine taken from the horse Anthony Bell at Hexham on 4 October has confirmed the presence of Flunixin, a prohibited substance. The horse is trained by Tim Carr at Great Ayton. The finding was confirmed by the Hong Kong Racing Laboratory, who performed the counter analysis. An enquiry will be held by the Jockey Club's Disciplinary Committee.
