Racing: Kissogram follows Wonderful footsteps
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.

The Newmarket trainer, who scored with One So Wonderful in the Group One contest in 1998, has just two of the 61 entries announced yesterday.
Kissogram reappeared at Sandown last month, finishing fourth of six behind Chester House - also entered in the York race - in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes. The progressive Manndar finished fourth to Mutafaweq in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot. Mutafaweq is one of a 19-strong entry from Godolphin.
Musselburgh racecourse has been awarded a Levy Board loan of pounds 500,000 to redevelop its weighing room. The old Tote buildings are to be demolished. Work is expected to start on the project in November and will take 11 months. The Levy Board has also agreed a pounds 25,000 loan to Plumpton for various improvements.
A new video replay looping facility is to be introduced at all courses to speed up stewards' inquiries. New equipment will enable stewards to see incidents replayed from up to four different angles. At present, RaceTech staff have to rewind tapes manually for replays.
