Large obstacles hinder Action's progress
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."If you can get 10-1 with a run for the Champion Hurdle - take it," was how Oliver Sherwood summed up Large Action's debut over fences at Uttoxeter yesterday. Last year's Champion Hurdle runner-up was far from foot-perfect, but his jockey, Jamie Osborne, sat tight and the pair outspeeded Spinning Steel to win by four lengths.
"It's a long way to next March and I'm not going to say now if he'll run in the Champion or the Arkle," Sherwood said. "To be fair to the horse he was never out of third gear and I'd like to think he could have another run over fences." Sherwood refused to be drawn on where Large Action would next appear.
