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.Geminiani maintained her unbeaten record when she took the Prestige Stakes at Goodwood yesterday. She is now 20-1 with Ladbrokes for next year's 1,000 Guineas, for which Russian Rhythm is 3-1 favourite. Yesterday's Group Three contest, won last year by the top-class Gossamer, had seemed competitive but the winner, trained by Barry Hills and ridden by his son Michael, was an easy winner from Huja, ridden by the winning jockey's twin, Richard.
The winner is from the first crop of King Of Kings, the 2,000 Guineas winner four years ago, and Hills's assistant, Kevin Mooney, said: "He has thrown horses of a good stamp and this filly has plenty of size. She's won twice at Goodwood but she would have no problem with a flat track and the Fillies' Mile at Ascot could be on the agenda."
Under the new stricter rules concerning riding out for all places, Jimmy Fortune was found to have eased sixth-home Sister Bluebird, costing her fifth place. The difference in prize-money was just £332 but Fortune was banned for four days.
