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.

Suny Bay's odds for both the Grand National and Gold Cup at Cheltenham were cut yesterday after his all-the-way victory in the Edward Hanmer Memorial Chase at Haydock.

The grey's National price was reduced to 12-1 favourite from 16-1 by Coral. The same bookmakers shortened Charlie Brooks' horse to 20-1 from 33-1 for Cheltenham after his owner Andrew Cohen confirmed that he hoped Suny Bay would run in both races.

Ladbrokes offered Suny Bay at 9-2 favourite (from 12-1) for the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury a week on Saturday.

Coral also cut yesterday's Haydock runner-up General Wolfe to 33-1 for the National after an encouraging run. Third-placed See More Business is now 33-1 from 50-1 for the Gold Cup.

Peintre Celebre's win in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe earned the colt the Cartier Horse of the Year title last night. At a ceremony in London, the Daniel Wildenstein-owned colt beat Pilsudski, Singspiel and Spinning World to claim the award. Xaar took the honours as the top two-year-old colt.
