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.FAITHFUL STAR, who finished fourth in last week's Galway Plate Handicap Chase when trained by Mark Roper, has joined Martin Pipe's yard and will race in the colours of the Pond House Racing Club.
The seven-year-old, ridden by Peter Scudamore, was beaten 15 1/2 lengths by The Gooser in last week's race, but was reportedly badly hampered twice.
Pipe said: 'Faithful Star has been bought to race for the Pond House Racing Club, which is a syndicate I train for. Its members include footballers Bryan Robson, Jan Molby and Brian McClair.'
Pipe and Scudamore began their defence of the trainers' and jockeys' titles at Newton Abbot on Saturday, with two winners at typically short prices, Tom Clapton (2-9) and Mohana (4-5).
