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.The Jockeys' Association yesterday confirmed that championships are to revert to being decided on number of winners instead of prize-money won.
The association's secretary, Michael Caulfield, said: "The original decision was well-intentioned but it was subsequently felt that it would not achieve its aim to reduce the pressure on the leading riders and create opportunities for other jockeys. "We hope the association can be praised and not criticised for amending its original decision."
