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.

Stowaway and Silver Patriarch who fought out a stirring finish to York's Great Voltigeur Stakes last week, headed the William Hill market for the St Leger when the latest acceptors were prematurely released yesterday.

A total of 18 horses remain in the final Classic of the season, to be staged at Doncaster on 13 September.

The list of runners was not expected to be released until today. However, William Hill released their prices ahead of publication leaving the Doncaster executive no option but to publish the acceptors.

Both Stowaway, trained by Saeed bin Suroor, and the John Dunlop charge Silver Patriarch are available at 5-2 with the Irish Derby runner up, Dr Johnson, next best at 7-1.

The Tote Jackpot pool at Ripon yesterday reached pounds 378,678.30. With 87 pence in winning tickets a dividend of pounds 268,861.50 was declared to a pounds 1 stake. There were seven different winning ticket-holders with 10p winner scooping over pounds 26,000 from a bet placed on the track. The dividend outstripped the equivalent starting-price accumulator, which paid pounds 23,940 for a pounds 1 outlay. The sum of pounds 49,228.18 is carried forward to Carlisle's Jackpot today.
