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.Kieren Fallon reached the 100-winner mark for the season last night when steering the well-backed Jambo to victory at Nottingham. It is the 31-year-old County Clare-born jockey's first century in Britain.
It was eight years ago that Fallon rode his first winner in this country, Evichstar at Thirsk. His previous best British total came last year with 91 winners.
Earlier, at Newcastle yesterday afternoon Fallon had impressed with his performance on Top of The Wind, who had caused problems in the paddock before the Northern Racing Nursery.
Fallon was pushing his mount along at the halfway stage but she finally struck the front in the final furlong and proved one length too good for Our Future.
