Tote pays up to quicken the pace
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 Jockey Club and the Tote yesterday initiated a joint plan to speed up the time taken to conduct stewards' inquiries at racecourses.
Improved viewing facilities and communications equipment are to be introduced on all racecourses.
A trial of new equipment has been taking place at four selected courses during the past 12 months and the Tote, satisfied the rehearsal has proved successful, have agreed to fund the installation of the equipment at all tracks.
Part of the plan is to install four screens in the stewards' room, synchronised to allow all those involved in an inquiry a complete view of any incident from all angles without having to re-run tapes.
