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.Klairon Davis and Merry Gale, two of Ireland's top chasers, meet in the Grade Three Tipperary Racecourse Chase today. The Jim Dreaper-trained Merry Gale, fourth in the Cheltenham Gold Cup last season, will be ridden by Richard Dunwoody on his first outing since his victory in the Martell Cup at Aintree last April.
Klairon Davis, Arthur Moore's Arkle Trophy winner, is also appearing for the first time this season in the IRpounds 10,000 two-mile contest.
Ante-post punters were yesterday warned that one of Ireland's leading Champion Hurdle hopes, Hotel Minella, may be sent chasing later this season.
The Aidan O'Brien-trained eight-year-old is quoted as short as 14-1 for the Cheltenham race with Ladbrokes after four wins in novice company last season. But O'Brien's wife, Anne Marie, said: "He might be going chasing. He has been schooled and he's a super jumper of fences."
