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.A tongue strap transformed the fortunes of Sublime Fellow yesterday when the four-year-old won a competitive novices' hurdle race at Ludlow by four lengths.
Mick Fitzgerald, the winning rider, said: "We've always thought the world of him and now he's shown what he can do in what was a decent race. He's a real classy horse."
In beating the well-regarded Certainly Strong yesterday, Sublime Fellow atoned for defeat by 33-1 stablemate Braes Of Mar at Sandown earlier this month.
"He was making a terrible noise afterwards and we found out he'd swallowed his tongue. We used a tongue strap on him today and it's worked."
