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.Labeq, a well-backed favourite for Saturday's Cambridgeshire Handicap, is now a doubtful runner. The colt's trainer Peter Walwyn said last night: "Labeq worked yesterday and looked like a bird, but he was a bit stiff this morning."
The three-year-old was forced to pull out of his Cambridgeshire warm- up at Kempton early last week after pulling a muscle in front of the stifle.
The all-clear was given yesterday, however, for My Emma to run in the Arc on Sunday. The four-year-old's participation had been put in jeopardy when she slipped and banged herself earlier this month. But trainer Rae Guest said: "She worked well this morning.''
