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.JOHN WHITE, the Wendover trainer who heads the early-season National Hunt table with 19 successes, endured a disastrous day at Plumpton yesterday. White drew a blank in all six races, which is hardly unusual except that he had announced beforehand that he had reserved six horses for that day in order to become, along with Adrian Maguire, the first trainer-jockey combination to clean up in every race at one meeting.
White's representative in the opening race, the even- money favourite Days Of Thunder, fell at the final flight when already beaten behind 33-1 winner St John's Hill. Although Maguire recovered to ride in the later races, he managed no better than second, on Swedish Invader in the juvenile hurdle and on So Discreet in a novice chase.
At the same course on Bank Holiday Monday, Maguire rode the first five winners, three of which were trained by White.
