Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Neil Callan reached 100 winners for the year on Reebal at Ripon yesterday. Brian Meehan's juvenile was soon bowling along in the lead and although he was briefly pressed by Sparkling Eyes at the furlong pole, the 6-1 shot shook off that rival to win going away.

It is the third season in a row that Callan has reached the milestone and he said: "I'm glad to get there, but it's just nice to be riding winners. My best was last year, which was 151. Obviously I am going to try and better it and I'll be going all out until the end of the year.

"If things fall right, some year I might give trying to be champion jockey a go."
