Racing: Raiders out in force for Cup
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.

Exceed And Excel represents Australia, having recovered from an infection that forced him to miss Royal Ascot. Seeking The Dia will attempt to give Japan's Hideyuki Mori his second win in the race after Agnes World four years ago. And British-born David Oughton runs Hong Kong's Cape Of Good Hope, who was placed in two Group races at Royal Ascot.
Two other foreign hopefuls were among five horses eliminated at yesterday's 48-hour final stage to meet the safety limit. Sheikh Mohammed's Lydgate, trained in America by Eoin Harty, and Dorubako, another Japanese entry, failed to make the cut for the Group One race over six furlongs.
The others eliminated were David Nicholls's Fire Up The Band, Brian Meehan's Twilight Blues and Ringmoor Down from David Arbuthnot's stable.
