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.

BOB'S RETURN, last year's St Leger winner, produced the best result by Britain's travellers abroad yesterday, and he was only fourth.

Mark Tompkins's charge did well to finish just over three lengths behind the 18-1 Prix Ganay winner, Marildo, at Longchamp. Intrepidity, the 1993 Oaks winner, took second, with Urban Sea, the Arc winner, touching off Bob's Return for the minor place. Britain's other challenger, Ezzoud, came seventh.

Pat Eddery's four-day ban cost him an important winner when Bonash took the Prix Vanteaux. She heads for an Oaks at Epsom or Chantilly.

John Dunlop's Ultimo Imperatore and Spaghetti Western finished down the field behind Poliuto in the Premio Parioli (Italian 2,000 Guineas) at Capannelle.
