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.CHAIN DANCE: had trouble finding a gap before staying on well into second behind Brigante Di Cielo at Ascot on Friday, too late to mount a serious challenge. Still improving and on a winning mark given better luck in running. (M Stoute).
HARPOON LOUIE: stayed on into fifth under considerate handling on his handicap debut in a seven-furlong nursery at York on Wednesday. Looks likely to show improvement with every race, and his shrewd handler still has time to find a contest over eight furlongs or further. (M H Easterby).
MUSTAKIM: this 95,000gns colt made a promising debut at Folkestone. Saw plenty of daylight on the outside of the field and, despite being tenderly handled, still finished third to Barik. Capable of winning an autumn maiden race. (R Armstrong).
VISAGA: mixed in good company in bumper races last winter. In need of race and ran too freely when finishing a tired second to Greenhil Raffles at Worcester on Saturday but jumped with impressive fluency. (D Nicholson).
