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.PAUL KELLEWAY, whose trademark in the Seventies and Eighties was speculative, but sometimes successful attempts at major prizes, resumed that role at The Curragh yesterday when saddling Belle Genius to win the Moyglare Stud Stakes. The race was the sixth at Group One level won by Kelleway, but the first for six years. Belle Genius, a 20-1 shot ridden by Jason Weaver, beat France's Tereshkova, with the favourite, Eva Luna, third.
'I used to have 50 horses, but I am down to a dozen now,' Kelleway said. 'I go out with just four in my first lot, when I meet 80 of Gosden's, another 80 of Cumani's and about 100 of Cecil's. I know now how General Custer felt.'
