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.GODOLPHIN, on a high following Cape Verdi's win in the 1,000 Guineas, have declared three colts, Altibr, Bintang and Zaya, for the Poule d'Essai des Poulains (French 2,000 Guineas) at Longchamp on Sunday.
A total of 18 stood their ground at yesterday's second acceptance stage for the race in which Criquette Head's unbeaten Prix de Fontainebleau winner, With The Flow, looks the best local hope.
In the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, Godolphin are keeping their options open having left in Asfurah, Bahr and La Nuit Rose. The only other overseas acceptor is Aidan O'Brien's Kincara Palace in a race in which Prix de la Grotte winner Zalaiyka may start favourite.
Norman Williamson was stood down for 48 hours after suffering concussion following a fall from The Whole Hog at Exeter yesterday.
