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.

While one superhorse, Lammtarra, was retired this week another potentially heroic figure emerged at Newmarket yesterday when Alhaarth won the Dewhurst Stakes.

It was a fifth successive victory for the colt trained by Dick Hern, and such was the authority of his win from the previously unbeaten Danehill Dancer that Alhaarth is now as low as 2-1 (with Ladbrokes) for next spring's 2,000 Guineas.

Hern has the best Classic record of any man still training, but even he admitted this was the best two-year-old he has trained. Willie Carson, Alhaarth's jockey, added: "He is an obvious force for the Guineas; he has got a big gun. He is special every time he runs. He is a champion."
