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.Willshe Gan, racing for the last time before she was due to be retired, was fatally injured at Catterick yesterday. The five-year-old, who was in-foal to Minster Son, had to be destroyed after breaking her pelvis at the bend into the straight.
At the last meeting Ahaalee broke his leg and had to be put down after falling near the same spot and the bend has been modified since. However, Willshe Gan's trainer, Denys Smith, said: "I'm quite happy that the track had nothing to do with it. Jimmy [Fortune] said he just felt her go behind him."
