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.BENFLEET: a dual winner on turf in May, at around a mile, this three-year-old attempted to exploit his low handicap mark for all-weather tracks when running at Lingfield on Friday. The 12-furlong trip proved just too far, however, and he was outstayed close home by hat- trick achieving filly Shifting Mist. The colt would be a serious proposition over a shorter journey. (R Armstrong)
GREEN PALM TREE: drifted in the betting market before her racecourse debut at Ripon on Saturday, but after forcing the pace was narrowly outpointed by the heavily backed favourite Lennox Lewis. A well-bred filly, she can win in higher grade next time. (B Hanbury)
POLAR STORM: a 14-1 shot in a decent handicap over Newbury's straight mile on Saturday, she faded in the final furlong to finish sixth, under four-lengths behind the winner, Red Earth. The Sussex-trained filly can return to form at a turning track. (Lady Herries)
