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.

UMISTIM could be heading for the big meeting at York next week after completing a double in the six-furlong Copenhagen Conditions Stakes Windsor yesterday. Final Row took a slight lead over a furlong out, but Umistim rallied in fine style to score by two lengths.

Richard Hannon, welcoming back his 11-4 winner, ridden by Richard Hughes, said: "I thought he only just got home over seven furlongs at Newbury on fast ground, so I dropped him back here and he's done it well on heavy.

"I might see if there is something for him at York, as he has shown he can go through soft ground and is a fine big horse."

Hannon made it a 23-1 double when Boating Song (11-2) won the Wellington Nursery.
