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.Bradbury Star was supported at the weekend in the betting market for the Queen Mother Champion Chase. Ladbrokes cut the 10-year-old's odds for Wednesday's two-mile contest from 12-1 to 8-1.
Bradbury Star has been competing over longer distances in recent years - his last victory at two miles was a novice chase at Kempton in October 1991.
But Josh Gifford's classy gelding is certainly a Cheltenham specialist. In November he won the two-and-a-half-mile Mackeson Gold Cup - his eighth success at the track.
Bradbury Star is also still entered in Thursday's Gold Cup, but the testing ground could persuade Gifford to chose the shorter race.
Miinnehoma, who is certainly being aimed at the Gold Cup, has been cut to 10-1 (from 12-1) by Ladbrokes. Last year's Grand National winner would be best suited by soft ground at Cheltenham, his trainer, Martin Pipe, has stressed.
