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.

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."
