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.

Kim Bailey received a pre-King George VI Chase fillip with a 653- 1 treble at Nottingham yesterday. The trainer, who will be represented in the King George at Sandown tomorrow by Master Oats and Book Of Music, had not saddled a winner for almost a month, but returned to form with Dominie, The Bud Club and Fellow Countryman.

With Norman Williamson injured, all three were ridden by different jockeys and Bailey has yet to confirm who will be on board Master Oats - backed from 11-2 to 4-1 with Ladbrokes - at Sandown. He is clearly hoping that Coulton will defect, allowing Jamie Osborne to resume a partnership that began at Chepstow. Mick Fitzgerald will ride Book Of Music.
