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 BEST backed horse yesterday for Saturday's Cambridgeshire with Coral was Supply And Demand, who was cut to 9-1 from 16-1. The firm's spokesman, Simon Clare, said: "From the moment we opened this morning, Supply And Demand was the only horse our customers wanted to back. We cut it from 16-1 to 12-1 in the first half an hour of trading, then to 10-1 and finally to 9-1.

"If Dokos doesn't run, Kieren Fallon will ride and Supply And Demand will start favourite." However, a spokeswoman for Dokos's trainer, Henry Cecil, confirmed that their horse is on course for the race.

For Your Eyes Only will carry top weight of 9st 10lb in the race, for which 47 horses were confirmed at yesterday's five-day stage.

Tim Easterby, the horse's trainer, said: "For Your Eyes is in good form and working well, Jason Weaver rides." The winner of three good handicaps already this season when carrying blinkers, the four-year-old gelding was without the headgear last time when he disappointed behind Great Dane in a Listed event at York.
