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.BOOKMAKERS, fearing another big-race success by the Sir Mark Prescott stable, yesterday sharply cut the odds for Wizard King in the Cambridgeshire Handicap.
Wizard King is now 14-1 clear favourite from 20-1 with Ladbrokes, and 14-1 joint- favourite (also from 20-1) with Coral, who have Halling as their other joint-favourite.
The Cambridgeshire is run at Newmarket on 1 October, but the three-year-old is expected to attempt to extend his winning sequence to four at Goodwood today.
Best-backed horses with the Cambridgeshire sponsors, William Hill, who made Wizard King their 14-1 favourite on Wednesday, were William Tell, 16-1 from 20s, and Palace Pageant, 25-1 from 33s.
Punters were warned yesterday that Humbert's Landing, installed by Ladbrokes on Wednesday as 16-1 favourite for the Ayr Gold Cup, could run elsewhere. A spokesman for Paul Cole's stable said: 'We advise punters to hold their bets as plans have not yet been finalised.'
