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.Pat Murphy breathed a sigh of relief when Sir Joey became the Bristol trainer's first Flat winner for 266 days in the Stewards Trial Handicap at Chepstow yesterday.
"That was just what the doctor ordered," Murphy said. "We've had about 16 placed horses but couldn't get a winner. But now it's a case of Stewards Cup here we come!
''Sir Joey ran in the race once before but couldn't cope with the track at Goodwood, which is amazing as he's scored three times on the undulations here," he said.
At Edinburgh yesterday, Mick Channon reached his fastest half-century in the six years he has held a trainer's licence when completing a favourites double with Jambo and Sporting Fantasy.
The Upper Lambourn trainer sent three horses on the 750 miles round-trip from his stables and pulled off a hat-trick - Halbert having won over the same course the previous evening.
