Dobbin has tough task on Missile
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 Richard Dunwoody rides One Man in the King George VI Chase at Sandown at Saturday, the grey's previous partner, Tony Dobbin, teams up with Unguided Missile in the Newton Handicap Chase at Haydock. Both horses are trained by Gordon Richards, who retains Dobbin as his stable jockey.
Dunwoody, who has twice won on Unguided Missile, showed particular skill to win the Betterware Cup on him at Ascot. Dobbin, therefore, has a hard act to follow.
Among his Haydock opponents on Saturday could be Big Matt, Easy Buck, Jodami, Miinnehoma and Morceli, who have all missed recent engagements because of bad weather.
