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.David Pipe may have just one runner from his three entries in the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury on Saturday as he makes his first attempt at winning the race his father, Martin, lifted three times. "We're waiting to hear from David Johnson [the owner] as we've left in Commercial Flyer, Bannow Strand and Vodka Bleu and they're all owned by him," the trainer said.
"They're all well and Vodka Bleu is 6lb well-in from his Paddy Power run. He came out of that race very, very well and he stays three miles but whether he will stay three miles two is a different story. He's a real galloper and I'm sure he will."
