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.

Mark Johnston's stayer Darasim put up a superb front-running performance yesterday to win the Group Two Prix Kergorla at Deauville.

Joe Fanning set the pace in the one mile seven furlong race from fellow British raiders Swing Wing and Pole Star and then pulled away in the final furlong of the short straight for a three-length success.

The British-trained duo of Hoh Buzzard and Felicity finished second and third to State Of Art in the Group Three Prix de la Nonette. State Of Art, trained by David Smaga and ridden by Dominique Boeuf, won by three-quarters of a length to make it three wins from four starts this season.

* Jimmy Quinn has his final rides at Yarmouth tomorrow before leaving Britain for a four-month stint in Hong Kong. The Irish-born lightweight is on the 49-winner mark this season.
