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.Foly Pleasant and the jockey Richard Burton are the combination to have on your side in today's Christie's Foxhunter Chase. A three-quarter-length second to Sleeping Night in last year's race, Foly Pleasant excelled over the Prestbury Park fences when trained by Henrietta Knight and was giving yesterday's Ryanair Chase winner, Fondmort, 12lb when runner-up in the 2002 Tripleprint Chase.
Foly Pleasant's jumping was ring-rusty when third on his reappearance at Bangor but he was back to something like his old self at Warwick next time.
Those hoping for a "proper point-to-pointer'' to prevail, rather than a rejuvenated handicapper, could do worse than support Raregem - or another likely to start at decent odds, Swincombe.
The form of the latter's win in a Folkestone hunter chase is working out surprisingly well.
