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.

It was the Godolphin-owned four-year-old's second Group One victory. Ridden by Richard Hills, the 6-4 shot outstayed his seven rivals over the mile and a half to win by three-quarters of a length and the same from local fillies Quezon City and Catella.

Mark Johnston's Yavana's Pace was sixth of the eight runners. His rider, Darryll Holland, had earlier landed the £7,742 Listed seven furlong Preis der WGZ Beteiligungsgesellschaft on Eoghan O'Neill's Yorba Linda, a 14-1 chance.

John Gosden's Valentino, head second to Giant's Causeway in the St James's Palce Stakes at Royal Ascot last month, takes on nine rivals in the Group Three Prix Daphnis at Chantilly today. Gerald Mosse's mount was third to Bachir in the Prix d'Essai des Poulains (French 2,000 Guineas) on his last trip to France.

Next year's Group One Dubai World Cup will be run on Saturday March 24, it was announced yesterday. The $6million contest (about £3.75m), sponsored by Emirates, will be the highlight of a seven-race card on which every event will have Group status.
