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.

Bimsey was yesterday the subject of some sizeable wagers for next week's Ebor Handicap at York with Coral, including one bet of pounds 1,000 at 16-1. Coral promptly shortened the Reg Akehurst-trained runner to 14-1 from 16-1.

Tote, the race sponsors, reported money for Luca Cumani's Puce (cut to 8-1 from 10-1) after the trainer confirmed her a runner.

Martin Pipe teamed up with jockey Tony McCoy to claim three of Worcester's six races yesterday, at accumulative odds of around 5-1.

Pipe's hopes of a quartet of winners from his four runners were dashed when Fleet Cadet fenced poorly in the novice handicap chase and was pulled up five from home.
