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.The ladies championship seems destined to be decided at next Saturday's Umberleigh finale even though Polly Gundry, on the 18-winner mark, and Rilly Goschen (17) are both in action over the weekend.
The ladies championship seems destined to be decided at next Saturday's Umberleigh finale even though Polly Gundry, on the 18-winner mark, and Rilly Goschen (17) are both in action over the weekend.
Neither of the two rides of reigning champion Gundry at Chaddesley Corbett today has much to recommend on form and her best chance from four mounts at Bratton Down tomorrow appears to be Let's Fly in the ladies' open (3.45). Goschen's only ride this weekend is on Chasing The Bride in the same race, but Rimpton Boy, who won by a neck, and Father Tom fought out the finish of the ladies' open at the same venue last week and should do so again.
Another success for Rimpton Boy would put him equal on eight with this season's leading horse, Cannon Bridge, who is entered at Chaddesley today. But, according to his trainer, Cath Williams, the fast ground there means he is more likely to turn out in the men's open (3.45) at Bratton Down tomorrow.
Fixtures: Today: Harkaway Club at Chaddesley Corbett. (First race 2.0). Next to A448 midway between Bromsgrove and Kidderminster, exit 4 or 5, M5. Tomorrow: Tiverton Staghounds at Bratton Down, north Devon. (2.0). Alongside A399, 11m N of South Molton, 3m S of Blackmoor Gate.
