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.CASTILIAN QUEEN: this three-year-old filly ran too freely when trying in vain to make all the running on her seasonal debut in a mile race at Ascot. Dropped back to seven furlongs at Newmarket last week, she was held up at the rear of a competitive field before running on promisingly to take fourth place close home. A valuable mile handicap looks within her grasp. (J Gosden).
PROFIT A PRENDRE: distinctly unprofitable on last two outings when beaten in photo-finishes at Salisbury and Leicester. Especially frustrating for supporters of this eight-year-old as he was unlucky in running on both occasions. Should be given a chance to recover losses. (D A Wilson).
SUPER MORNING: only a 20-1 chance when finishing well into fourth place behind the heavily-backed Thimbalina in an amateur rider's race at Salisbury. First sign of form so far this season and now favourably handicapped. Looks certainly capable of winning a modest handicap in the near future. (G Balding).
