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.

L'Ami is likely to use the Racing Post Chase at Sandown on 25 February as a stepping stone to the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

The François Doumen-trained seven-year-old is a 25-1 chance for the blue riband after finishing second in the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup and fourth behind Kicking King in the King George VI Chase.

"He is sparkling in his work and I would like to run him in the Racing Post if the handicapper will allow me," Doumen said.

"I just think he was caught a bit by surprise when they accelerated coming into the straight in the King George."
