RACING: THE SATURDAY STATS
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.

Winner at longest price: The Mexicans Gone, at 66-1, won the last at Windsor.
Winner at longest Tote odds: The Mexicans Gone, again, with a dividend to a pounds 1 stake of pounds 149.70, though at the same track Deependable (SP 25- 1) paid pounds 67.80.
Shortest-priced loser: Coralette, a heavily backed 4-9 shot at Chepstow. Two other odds-on favourites were beaten on the same card.
Worst Tote odds: Kings Cherry (SP 10-1) and Pete The Parson (SP 11-2) each won three-horse races at Chepstow, but followers of the outsider- of-three maxim were disappointed with Tote dividends of pounds 5.50 and pounds 3.90 respectively.
Tote Placepots: Newcastle (4 placed favourites) pounds 323.10; Chepstow (2 placed favourites) pounds 1,116.80; Warwick (3 placed favourites) pounds 2,893.80; Windsor (2 placed favourites) pounds 1,272.40; Lingfield (6 placed favourites) pounds 4.40.
Jackpot: Part won at Newcastle (pounds 13,510.50). Pool of pounds 3,996.08 to Southwell today.
Jockey: Seb Sanders ''rode a blinder'', according to trainer Kevin McAuliffe, when persuading the six-year-old mare Newington Butts, running for the 30th time, to win her first ever race at Lingfield on Thursday.
Trainer: Senior jockey Graham McCourt gained his first success as a trainer when partnering Lance Armstrong to victory at Windsor on Saturday. "Its a lovely feeling," said McCourt whose delight was only partly dented when stewards imposed a two-day riding ban for using his whip with unreasonable frequency.
Horse: The Grey Monk stretched his unbeaten record over fences to four when barely coming out of an exercise canter to justify odds of 1-5 in a novice chase at Newcastle on Saturday. The eight-year-old may turn out again on Friday or Saturday.
