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.

Heavy rain across the country is threatening to wipe out today's racing action. The card at Leicester has already been abandoned while Sedgefield and Ayr will inspect at 7am and 7.30am respectively.

Heavy rain across the country is threatening to wipe out today's racing action. The card at Leicester has already been abandoned while Sedgefield and Ayr will inspect at 7am and 7.30am respectively.

Yesterday, only Ayr's card survived unscathed from four meetings due to take place in Britain and Ireland. Leicester was able to stage only its first five races on an eight-race card, Windsor was called off at 12.30pm and Punchestown was abandoned after one race.

Haydock's meeting tomorrow has already been abandoned because of waterlogging. Tomorrow's other cards are at Wetherby and on the all-weather surface at Lingfield.

The Princess Royal Stakes and Cornwallis Stakes, which fell victim to the security alert which caused Ascot's card to be called off on Saturday, have been rescheduled. The Princess Royal Stakes will be run at Newmarket on Friday and the Cornwallis Stakes will be run at Newbury on 20 October.
