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.SYBILLIN, who belied his 'banker' status when finishing only third in the Festival's Arkle Trophy, may renew rivalry with that race's winner, Travado, on the first day of Aintree's Grand National meeting.
Jimmy FitzGerald's novice chaser, winner of the Victor Chandler Handicap Chase at Ascot in January, will be blood- tested before the trainer decides whether he is fit enough to contest either Thursday's Sandeman Novice Chase, or the Martell Aintree Chase two days later.
News is less encouraging of Sumoto, ante-post second favourite for the 1,000 Guineas until injury rumours surfaced last Friday. An X-ray has revealed a suspected stress fracture of her near hind leg, and Geoff Wragg's filly is now a very doubtful starter for the race at Newmarket on 29 April. 'There is every likelihood that Sumoto will be ready for Royal Ascot,' Wragg said.
