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.Bint Salsabil, a daughter of Nashwan out of the triple Classic winner winner Salsabil, is now a top-priced 20-1 favourite for both the 1,000 Guineas and Oaks of 1996 after a smooth success at Ascot on Saturday.
Her trainer, John Dunlop, who handled Salsabil and also has the unraced but "sharper" Bint Shadayid among his crop of two-year-olds, was impressed.
"That was a very, very good debut," he said. "She is not a sharp filly, much more a staying type, but she quickened well and I couldn't be more delighted."
At Longchamp, Valanour became the first French-trained three-year-old colt to hold off British-based raiders in a French Group One race, when he beat the Michael Stoute-trained Singspiel in the Grand Prix de Paris. John Gosden's Torrential. was fourth and Peter Chapple-Hyam's Painter's Row was eighth.
