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.DUO DROM, a mare who had finished runner-up in her last seven starts, finally ended the sequence yesterday when getting her head in front at the finish to the St Neots Handicap Chase at Huntingdon.
In all, Duo Drom has been the bridesmaid 14 times in a 26-race career, including 11 occasions in the last 12.
The mare's trainer, Di Haine, scored an across-the- card double when Dont Tell The Wife won at Lingfield. The eight-year-old escaped trouble at the sixth fence in the Attlee Novices Chase where Fantasy World fell, bringing down Suffolk Road, the 5-2 favourite, as well as an outsider, Dovehill.
Today's race meeting at Uttoxeter was called off yesterday evening after the saturated track was hit by further rain. Major David McAllister, the clerk of the course, said last night: 'We have had one and a half hours of rain which has broken the camel's back. It is still raining.'
