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.

Jamie Moore was handed a 10-day suspension for dropping his hands and losing third place on Just Midas in the Gerrard Wealth Management Selling Hurdle at Fontwell yesterday.

Jamie Moore was handed a 10-day suspension for dropping his hands and losing third place on Just Midas in the Gerrard Wealth Management Selling Hurdle at Fontwell yesterday.

Riding for Martin Pipe, the conditional jockey was caught close home and beaten three-quarters of a length by Grand Prompt after easing down prematurely in the 10-runner contest. The race went to Moore's father, Gary, who trained the winner Lightning Star, who was ridden by Tony McCoy.

Moore will be banned on from 6 to 10 June inclusive, then 12, 13, 15, 16 and 20 June. But the jockey also rode a treble, partnering Wayward Melody and Tioman to complete a treble for his father, and Shannon Water's for Pipe.

The Horse Racing Channel announced it would start broadcasting on Saturday, 13 days before its rival At The Races. The channel, under the new brand name of Racing UK, will cover races from Kempton, Doncaster, Musselburgh and Cartmel.
