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.Tony McCoy, the champion jump jockey, moved on to 82 winners for the term after a near 82-1 four-timer at Taunton yesterday and stayed on course to break his own record for the fastest 100 winners in a season.
McCoy's wins came on Gray Pastel, Northern Drums and Mite Equal for Martin Pipe and Peter Bowen's Danger Baby. Last season McCoy hit the 100 mark on 21 November.
There was bad news at the track for Jamie Osborne, who was concussed after a fall on Royal Action. Osborne faces a rest of at least seven days and misses riding the fancied Father Sky in the Charisma Gold Cup at Kempton tomorrow.
