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.Henry Cecil, who has already won one fillies' Classic this season with Sleepytime, strengthened his team for the second, the Oaks, when Yashmak ran away with the Vodafone Fillies Trial at Newbury yesterday.
She is now 20-1, from 8-1, with Coral, 5-1 with Ladbrokes and 4-1 with the Tote for the Epsom Classic after beating Tempting Prospect by nine lengths.
Her stablemate Reams Of Verse captured the Musidora Stakes by 11 lengths at York last week to become 5-4 favourite for the big race and their trainer, Henry Cecil, was unable to confirm plans. "Both could run at Epsom, one could go for the French Oaks or one run in the Ribblesdale Stakes. I will advise Prince Khalid Abdullah but it will be his decision," he said.
