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.Frankie Dettori was yesterday banned for six days, from 21-26 September, for irresponsible riding at Goodwood on Leading Note. The Italian came over to the stands rails when the field for the mile and a half race swung into the straight, and took Pennys From Heaven, ridden by Chris Rutter, with him. It is the second time in a month that Dettori has been banned at Goodwood. He received a five-day ban there on 23 August.
Kieren Fallon now leads Dettori by five in the race for the jockeys' championship, for which the Tote's revised betting is Fallon 8-15 (from 4-6), and Dettori 11-8 (from 11-10).
n Lester Piggott will return to the saddle for a charity race at the Curragh a week today. The 11-time champion jockey, who retired last year, is one of several racing personalities who will take part in a race in aid of injured jockey Shane Broderick.
