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.The racehorses formerly known as Desert Boy and Missile - useful performers for Peter Chapple-Hyam and Willie Haggas in the 1996 British Flat season, now racing in Hong Kong under the names of Oriental Express and Victory Star respectively - led home the field in the Group One Hong Kong Derby (1m 1f) at Sha Tin yesterday. Oriental Express, a 2.3-1 chance trained by Ivan Allan and ridden by Basil Marcus, won by 11/4 lengths from Victory Star, trained by David Oughton and ridden by Mick Kinane. Philip Robinson was a short-head back in third on Indigenous, while Richard Quinn, riding Citiluck, was a further two short-heads adrift in fifth. Kevin Darley's mount, We Know When, finished 12th of the 13 runners.
Today's meeting at Plumpton was abandoned on Saturday because the course is waterlogged.
