Racing: Weighting on a Call
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.

They are: Cariboo Gold and Druid's Brook (trained by Kim Bailey), Full Of Oats (Philip Hobbs), Fanfaron (Charlie Egerton), Celtic Giant (Len Lungo) and Rightsaidfred (Anna Newton-Smith). The presence of Imperial Call, the 1996 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, leaves all the British runners set to carry more than their true handicap weights.
