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.

Henry Cecil, fighting out the Flat trainers' championship with Saeed bin Suroor, notched his century of winners with a double at Nottingham yesterday, helping champion-jockey elect, Pat Eddery, to a treble in the process.

After a satisfactory gallop, Bosra Sham, the 1,000 Guineas winner, will be on Cecil's side in the race that may well decide the destination of the title, the Champion Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday week.

n Martin Pipe's ex-stable jockey, David Bridgwater, has signed a contract to ride the horses of one of the trainer's former owners, Darren Mercer, including Banjo and Escartefigue.
