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.LEAP OF FAITH: so outpaced was this filly in the early stages on her racing debut on the sand at Southwell a week ago, that she appeared certain to finish out of the frame. But the two-year-old made up a remarkable amount of late ground to be second to the fast-breaking favourite, Mazeeka. Should know more about the game next time. (D Loder)
MAMALAMA: has not been discredited in decent novice hurdling company, including when unseating her rider at the last flight on her most recent run at Towcester. Was running on into third place behind the winner, Strath Royal, at the time. Must have a fine chance when put in handicaps. (J J Bridger)
PADDY CHALK: well backed in a six-furlong race at Newbury, but faded out of contention after running well until nearing the final furlong. Compensation awaits on firm ground over a distance of five furlongs. (L J Holt)
