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.LIMESTONE LAD, the horse who inflicted a defeat on the champion hurdler Istabraq last weekend, could return to action in a fortnight's time.
But a return meeting with Istabraq at the Cheltenham Festival looks unlikely. James Bowe, the owner/trainer of Limestone Lad, is considering a two-and- a-half-mile conditions hurdle at Navan next month for the seven-year-old.
But Bowe's son, Michael, who does all the work with the horse at his father's Thurles stable, said yesterday: "Frankly, I've never had a plan with this horse. We don't normally decide where he's going until about a week before.
"I don't want to get carried away. I want my options left open. This horse is a real home-bird. He's a bit spoilt. He likes his own feed-pot and has his own habits,'' he added.
