Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Goodwood is not the only Festival taking place this week and at Galway the feature race today is the Plate, for which Jim Goldie's Kid'z'play heads the British challenge. The nine-year-old is near the top of the weights, however, having won three novice events at Perth this summer.

"The weight is the big issue," the Glasgow trainer said yesterday. "It would have been better if he had 10st 9lb and not 11st 9lb."

Totheroadyouvgone will be Alan Jones's first runner at Galway and the Devon trainer is optimistic. "I think he'll take all the beating. He's got no weight and he has earned his place."
