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.Chris Dwyer, who had gone 85 days without a winner, had his moment of glory delayed a little longer when racing at Chester yesterday was interrupted for 45 minutes because of a false patch of ground. The Newmarket trainer was among a deputation who inspected the track after the second race and then, once the running rail had been realigned, he returned to saddle Wahj for success in the featured £15,000 rated handicap.
"There was only a small patch of bad ground about two furlongs out, the rest of the course is perfect and it suited this fella," Dwyer said. "I'm so relieved to have a winner. It's been a long time."
