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.SNURGE finished runner-up for the third successive race when second to Sheikh Mohammed's Modhish in the Grand Prix de Deauville yesterday. Attempting to repeat last season's success in the race, Paul Cole's five-year-old was collared in the closing stages and went down by one and a half lengths to Modhish, who was ridden by Thierry Jarnet as Steve Cauthen could not make the weight of 8st 7lb.
Snurge, the 1990 St Leger winner, had been beaten by a head in his last two races and has now failed to win in six outings this season. The Mohammed Moubarak- trained Fast Manouvre could not cope with the combination of hock-deep ground and high-class opposition and finished fifth. John Dunlop's Oumaldaaya was fourth to River Nymph in the Prix de la Nonette on the same programme after leading for much of the way.
