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.

John Gosden will announce today whether the Derby winner, Benny The Dip, has run his last race in Britain. The trainer was pleased with the colt's work on Saturday and is likely to aim the three-year-old at either next Saturday's Champion Stakes or the Canadian International. Benny The Dip is to be retired to stud in North America at the end of the season.

Also a consideration for the Champion could be Singspiel, the horse that was won more prize-money than any other trained in Britain.

l Henry Cecil announced yesterday that Sleepytime is to be retired for the season. He added that the 1,000 Guineas winner will be back in action next year.
