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.With just a fortnight of the season left, champions-elect Oliver Greenall and Polly Gundry are both chasing records. Greenall needs six more to equal the previous highest total of 54 winners achieved by Ashley Farrant in 2004, while Gundry, who rode a double at Larkhill on Wednesday to put her on the 38 mark, requires just three more to top Polly Curling's 1995 record of 40.
Greenall won on Pristine Condition on Wednesday night but was later beaten on two odds-on chances. However, he should be back on track at Dingley today with Glenelly Gale (4.15) in the mens open.
The ex-Irish veteran ended a long losing run when making all under Greenall's brother Toby at Garthorpe three weeks ago. Oliver also has an excellent chance in the following intermediate (4.50) on either last week's Garthorpe winner Malton or The Fairhill Boy.
Bratton Down stage the second of their three late season meetings today and Gundry has a strong hand in the ladies' open (3.45) with either Dr Cerullo or Long Night, who were both successful over the Bank Holiday, though Croix de Guerre, owned by trainer Philip Hobbs' wife Sarah, will be a tough opponent.
Monday's meeting at Bonvilston in Glamorgan, which was postponed after high winds blew the course tents down, has been rearranged for tomorrow with the same entries.
FIXTURES: TODAY: Exmoor at Bratton Down (First race: 2.00) North Devon: Alongside A399; 11m N of South Molton, 3m E of Blackmoor Gate. Harborough Race Club (2.30) Northants: 3m E of Market Harborough; nr A427. TOMORROW: Countryside Alliance Club (Wales) (2.00, re-arranged fixture from Monday) Glamorgan: 4m W of Cardiff, nr A48; 5m from exit 33 M4.
