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.The trainer Martin Todhunter was fined pounds 1,500, the jockey John Stack banned for eight days and the horse Kwikpoint suspended for 30 days yesterday at a Jockey Club inquiry held under the non-triers rule.
The hearing examined the running of Kwikpoint at Catterick on 20 September. They found the jockey had made insufficient effort and this was due to the trainer's instructions.
Stack's suspension runs from 14-22 October, while Kwikpoint will not be able to run until 11 November.
Fifty firefighters yesterday put out a fire at Luca Cumani's Newmarket stable. There were no injuries.
