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 Newmarket trainer David Loder was dealt a huge blow yesterday when his leading 1,000 Guineas contender Embassy and top miler Starborough were among 12 horses transferred by Sheikh Mohammed to his Godolphin operation. The pair will spend the winter in Dubai before returning to Europe to race under the guidance of the Godolphin trainer, Saeed bin Suroor.
John Gosden and Michael Stoute also suffer, losing three each as Godolphin strengthens next year's team. Gosden loses Cape Cross, Conon Falls and King Sound, while Bint Albaadiya, Crown Of Light and Kayf Tara leave Stoute.
