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.

EAST Of The Moon will start a short-priced favourite to win the Prix de Diane (French Oaks) at Chantilly this afternoon. The Francois Boutin-trained filly will be attempting to follow up her convincing success in the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches (French 1,000 Guineas), which she won from Agathe and Belle Argentine, who both renew rivalry today.

Belle Argentine, who has shaped like a doubtful stayer, will carry the colours of the Dubai-based Godolphin operation, successful with Balanchine in the Epsom Oaks last weekend. The biggest danger may be posed by East Of The Moon's stable companion Cheyenne Dream who will be ridden by Pat Eddery. There are no

British-trained challengers.
