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.MICK CHANNON achieved the first Group race success of his career when Great Deeds justified favouritism in yesterday's Ballyogan Stakes at Leopardstown.
Three English-trained runners dominated throughout, Paul Eddery on Great Deeds beating Jack Berry's pair Sabre Rattler and Palacegate Episode but having to survive a stewards' inquiry.
Trapped on the far rails approaching the final furlong as the Berry pair dominated, Eddery switched to his left, and although crossing the fourth-placed My-O- My in the process, Channon's filly quickened smartly to win decisively.
After an anxious wait, the trainer was able to celebrate the Group Three win, though Eddery received a caution for careless riding from the stewards. Channon may let Great Deeds take her chance in the King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot next week.
