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.

A JACKPOT pool of pounds 500,000 is in prospect at Kempton today after punters found Saturday's results at Newbury too difficult.

"It's quite possible we might break the half-million barrier which will give us the biggest pool since Royal Ascot," Rob Hartnett, the Tote spokesman, said yesterday. Today's Kempton card looks formidable, but will surely not prove so hard as Newbury's - only one favourite gained a place there all day.

The Tote offered a pounds 1m bonus to any punter winning the Trifecta alone in Saturday's Ayr Gold Cup, but there were 11.67 winning tickets. The dividend to a pounds 1 stake was pounds 14,210.94. The bookmakers' Tricast dividend, which has tended to pay less than the Trifecta, was pounds 20,742.40.
