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 Jockey Club yesterday sanctioned a third Sunday race meeting following the experiments at Doncaster and Cheltenham last year. The meeting, which will be a mixture of Flat and National Hunt, turf and all-weather, will be held at Lingfield on 1 August.
Richard Dunwoody's hopes of holding Peter Scudamore in the jockeys' championship were dealt a blow yesterday when he was forced to give up riding because of a broken bone in his hand. Dunwoody, 15 winners ahead of Scudamore, sustained the injury in a fall at Uttoxeter on Saturday. He had continued to ride but gave up further mounts after the pain became unbearable during the first race at Fontwell.
Richard Guest has conceded that the leg he shattered in a fall last November will not be fit enough to allow him to partner Romany King in the Grand National on Saturday week. The ride goes to Adrian Maguire.
