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.Willie Ryan, Benny The Dip, 1st: "We started to stretch at the five-furlong pole. I was surprised that he had gone so far clear, but he stuck his neck out when he needed to."
PAT EDDERY, SILVER PATRIARCH, 2nd: "At the furlong marker I was pretty sure I'd catch the winner, but he kept going and didn't stop."
JOHN REID, ROMANOV, 3rd: "I was further back than I wanted early on. Then I followed the favourite through and he didn't take me where I wanted to go."
MICHAEL KINANE, ENTREPRENEUR, 4th: "He was never travelling that well. I was fighting a losing battle from a long way out. You hope for the best and then it turns into a nightmare."
RAY COCHRANE, THE FLY, 5th: "I was squeezed leaving the stalls, then when they quickened up he was a little green and they left him."
RICHARD HILLS, FAHRIS, 6th: "He got a bit tired in the last two furlongs."
KIEREN FALLON, SYMONDS INN, 7th: "At the top of the hill I had a perfect position. Then they quickened and though he ran on in the straight, by that time the race was over."
MICHAEL HILLS, MUSALSAL, 8th: "He didn't have the speed."
FRANKIE DETTORI, BOLD DEMAND, 9th: "When they started the downhill course I was in trouble. The track didn't suit him."

DAVID HARRISON, SINGLE EMPIRE, 11th: "I was struggling a long way out. He didn't really handle the track."
TONY MCGLONE, CRYSTAL HEARTED, 12th: "I was happy until three furlongs out and then he stopped quickly."
GARY CARTER, PAPUA, 13th: "He lacks the class for a race like this."
