Summer breeze on cards
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.The feature race at Nottingham today threatens to be the mismatch of the season. The three runners in the D H Lawrence Stakes are headed by the Listed-placed Summer View, who steps down in class after finishing fifth of five in the Group Three Brigadier Gerard Stakes at Sandown last time.
The Roger Charlton-trained colt has to concede just 11lb to his opponents, Four Men and Mehmaas, but is officially rated superior to the pair by 81lb and 60lb respectively. They are likely to go off at huge prices for the £9,750 event, where each runner is entitled to £500 in appearance money.
Alan Berry's Four Men ran twice last week and today's race will be his fifth outing in nine days. He had a warm-up for Nottingham when finishing seventh to his stable-companion Santiburi Lad in a seller at Ripon yesterday and Berry said: "It would have made no difference whether Four Men won or not, the plan was to run him again."
