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.PROVENCE: ninth in the Cesarewitch last year, Peter Harris's gelding started at 25-1 on his reappearance in testing conditions at Kempton on Saturday. Despite needing the race, the seven-year-old made up considerable ground in the home straight to finish a close fourth to Admiral's Well. His chance would have to be respected in staying handicaps of two miles or more, particularly on a faster surface. (P W Harris)
SET THE FASHION: appeared unlucky when a fast-finishing second to Tawafij in a seven-furlong event at Doncaster on Saturday, losing out by a neck. Could be seen travelling comfortably behind the leaders but the five-year-old's jockey delayed making a challenge until after the winner had stolen first run. This Hunt Cup entry for Royal Ascot appears well handicapped. (Lord Huntingdon)
WOT-IF-WE: finished full of running when pulling three-lengths clear of his nearest pursuer to win at Lingfield on Saturday evening. Started at 16-1, but apparently did not go unbacked. The opposition was admittedly moderate, but this February-foaled colt could be stepped up in grade and still win again. Soft ground may well be necessary for him to display his best form, however.
