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.ADRIAN MAGUIRE is poised to clinch a deal to ride for Ferdy Murphy. However, the jockey, in his first full season since splitting with David Nicholson, will retain his freelance status for the 1999/2000 campaign.
Maguire won the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup on Sibton Abbey for Murphy in 1992, and made regular trips up north to ride for the Middleham-based trainer last season.
"He will still ride as a freelance and if he has a good horse to ride down south he will be able to," Murphy said. "You need continuity and Adrian and I go back a long way. Number one with him is looking after the horses and that is important as our horses are all big, National Hunt types."
