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.

With the Cheltenham Festival underway, punters will already be looking for any help available in picking the winner of the Gold Cup on Friday in the race meet’s flagship event.

As history shows, picking the Gold Cup winner is up there with choosing the Grand National-winning horse – it’s basically a bit of a lottery.

So while you can read every guide, listen to every tip and follow every trend, chances are the odds are not going to be in your favour, but along with the help of myracing.com we’ve come up with a generator that might just pick out the winning horse for you.

Depending on the latest odds and form, along with a little help from your lucky number of favourite colour, use the generator below to find out which horse you should be willing to put your mortgage on this week.

Of course, we don’t actually advise you to lay your mortgage in a race, and after all, it’s supposed to be a pit of fun. But if you’re in it for real, you can keep up to date with our Cheltenham live blog and latest results page.
