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.On the fifth day of racing on the Sabbath the horses decided to rest. At Yarmouth only 40 runners turn out from a total entry of 94, with four events pulling in only five runners. At Ayr, the featured Tennent Trophy has attracted just four runners.
It is the first Sunday when the sport is not being covered by terrestial television, although the BBC will be showing a recording of the Irish Oaks in Sunday Grandstand.
Yarmouth's clerk of the course, David Henson, said: "With decent prize- money I would have thought we might have attracted more runners."
