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.Last year's Champion Hurdle winner Flakey Dove, who had recently been backed for a repeat win at Cheltenham next month, may have to be retired after injuring herself on the gallops.
A final decision on her participation in this year's race is expected to be made by her trainer, Richard Price, later this week.
"If the race was two months away then she would have every chance of running," Price said yesterday. "But with only four weeks to go time is against us and, although I haven't fully decided, I think we are leaning towards retiring her to the paddocks.''
