Racing: For the Notebook
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.

BARON FERDINAND: Kempton's Chertsey Lock Stakes usually throws up some useful performers and this son of the Kentucky Derby winner Ferdinand out of a half-sister to Shirley Heights looks the sort to progress after finishing a close third to another smart debutante in Pembroke in this year's renewal. (R Charlton).
JONSALAN: after several promising runs he appreciated a step up to a mile on his latest appearance in a Warwick nursery. He dwelt in the stalls but finished very fast, only just failing to catch Express Mariecurie. Can go one better next time. (W Carter)
SOOTY SWIFT: well supported in the market for the competitive juvenile event won by Athens Belle at Kempton on Friday, she cut out the running before fading into fourth. That was her first run and as a daughter of Akarad she will improve over trips in excess of this seven furlongs. (C Brittain).
