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.Pennekamp, the favourite, will face 14 rivals in tomorrow's Derby. Celtic Swing and the injured Sebastian were the only two defectors at the 48-hour declaration stage.
The going at Epsom was yesterday described as Good to Firm, and Good over the last five furlongs of the 12-furlong Derby course.
Yesterday's draw should have little effect in a what is a relatively small Derby field, but Pennekamp's connections will be content that their colt runs from stall five. A draw near the centre is best. The main fancies are drawn as follows: Spectrum, the second-favourite, is in four, Humbel six, Lammtarra seven, Riyadian eight, Vettori nine. Tamure is in stall 13, with Munwar in three, Presenting two, and Salmon Ladder one.
