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.

Richard Dunwoody is to team up again with Martin Pipe in an attempt to win tomorrow's Tote Silver Trophy. Dunwoody, who has ridden for the champion trainer only once since he left Pipe to turn freelance at the start of last season, has been booked by his former boss to partner Silver Shred in the valuable Chepstow hurdle.

Pipe has been without a stable jockey since Dunwoody's successor at Pond House, David Bridgwater, resigned this summer and the trainer has been employing the best available.

That has often been Tony McCoy, but the reigning champion jockey is to partner Dr Leunt for Philip Hobbs at Chepstow. Dr Leunt and Silver Shred are now second and third favourites for the contest with the sponsors at 6-1 and 7-1 respectively, behind the 9-4 favourite, Castle Sweep.

n Merry Gale has been eased to 33-1 from 25-1 by Ladbrokes for the Cheltenham Gold Cup after finishing down the field in a chase at Clonmel yesterday. Ferdie Murphy's Edelweiss Du Moulin has been backed down to 20-1, from 40-1, for the Champion Hurdle.
