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.

Celtic Swing, not seen on a track since last summer, is unlikely to race again until the autumn with the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and Breeders' Cup Turf among his targets.

The colt is fully recovered from the knee injury, sustained during the Irish Derby, that ended his 1995 campaign, Nick Babbington, racing manager for owner Peter Savill, said yesterday.

However, although Celtic Swing will be put back into training by Lady Herries immediately, he will undergo a patient build-up and not reappear until the back end of the Flat season once the ground eases.

Celtic Swing had been entered for the Dubai World Cup in March but had been made only a reserve for the race.
