Point-to-point: Something Small has a big chance
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.Today's East Essex meeting at Marks Tey has been postponed and organisers are hoping to reschedule in the next fortnight.
The weekend's other nine fixtures should go ahead, though there will be a precautionary inspection at 1.00pm today for tomorrow's Cottesmore fixture at Garthorpe.
Pointing enthusiasts should make an effort to attend Kingston Blount tomorrow where all proceeds will be donated to the Oxford Children's Hospital in aid of Tom's Ward. The new ward will be named after Tom Waley-Cohen, who died of cancer in 2004 at the age of 20 and his family is dedicated to raising £1m for the hospital. Tom's brother Sam will ride at the meeting and could win the restricted (2.15) on Something Small, who looked a useful prospect when successful at Tweseldown last month.
Mouseski, brought down at the third at Larkhill last Saturday, can make amends in the mixed open (1.10) at Barbury Racecourse today.
