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.Dunnett was delayed by traffic and missed seeing her 7-1 chance Polar Force benefit from a positive ride from John Egan. Taking the lead two furlongs out, Polar Force, who clearly thrived in the testing conditions, kept on bravely to deny Snow Wolf by half a length.
It was left to the winning trainer's colleague and "drinking buddy" Gay Kelleway to do the honours.
"Christine's a great friend and a great trainer too," said Kelleway. "She gave up with the M25 and turned round to try to make it to Wolverhampton for her runners there."
East Garston trainer Stan Moore completed a near 18-1 double, his first at the Esher course, withBarathea Dreams in the Storm Personnel Handicap and Dont Dili Dali in the Futurity Conditions Stakes.
Dont Dili Dali is now likely to be upped in class in the Group One Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh.
