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.The John Gosden and Frankie Dettori team, having earlier been successful with Leap For Joy, also combined to take the Group One Gran Premio del Jockey Club E Coppa d'Oro with Shantou in Milan yesterday.
Shantou, clearly revelling on the sticky ground, soon had matters in hand, the 14-10 shot forging three lengths clear of Michael Stoute's Sacrament, ridden by Walter Swinburn, in the 12-furlong event. Paul Cole's Gran Premio di Milano winner, Strategic Choice, with Richard Quinn aboard, managed third.
Leap For Joy (12-10) repeated her 1995 success in the Group Three Premio Omenoni. Gosden's charge spearheaded a British 1-2-3 in the five-furlong race. Leap For Joy beat Brave Edge by a length and a quarter, with Hever Golf Rose a short head further back.
