Racing: For the Notebook
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.A weekly list of horses to follow:
CLIBURNEL NEWS: nearest at the finish in the six-furlong nursery won by Silverlocks at Ayr on Friday. Seems to need further now and should be on a winning mark if allowed to try an extra furlong or two. (M Tompkins).
GREEN KILT: made his debut in a Newbury maiden which often throws up high class performers from its also-rans. Handled very tenderly when the winner was clearly gone beyond recall, but will surely improve markedly for the experience and holds several valuable late-season engagements. (Lord Huntingdon).
SUNTARA: jockey bookings implied she was far from her stable's first string, but this filly ran on with particular vigour in the final stages to finish runner-up to Sueboog at Newbury. From a yard which is finally finding its form, and looks certain to lose her maiden tag before the season is out. (B Hills).
SUSQUEHANNA DAYS: a place behind Suntara at Newbury, this half-sister to Song Of Sixpence made up a lot of ground when realising what was required in the closing stages of the seven-furlong race that usually throws up some classy types. Will do better over a longer trip. (I Balding).
