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.AMERICAN SWINGER: easy winner at York on Thursday despite being out of the handicap. Looks much improved this year. (P Harris)
HOH MAGIC: broke the course record when making a winning debut in a juvenile maiden at Nottingham on Friday. Held in high regard by a stable which has already produced the smart Princely Hush among its two-year-olds and will not be out of place in the Queen Mary Stakes. (M Bell)
MOCASSIN RUN: finished among some Classic also-rans when a close fifth behind Mutakddim in a sprint at Newbury on Friday, his first run since making a successful debut in a Listed race at Epsom last June. Six subsequent winners were among the seven rivals behind him then and he looks a certain future winner himself. (I Balding)
OVERBROOK: overcame a slow debut start to finish on the heels of Limerick Belle's record-breaking run at Newbury on Friday, in front of some previous winners. Was sent off joint favourite and better things can be expected after this experience. (I Balding)
PTOTO: seemed to improve when tackling 12 furlongs for the first time at Brighton on Thursday, beating Karttikeya by a wider margin than when the two met in his previous race at Pontefract. Can now make good the promise of his juvenile efforts. (L Cumani)
