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.
Your support makes all the difference.ALRIFFA: Looked the most backward and was weakest in the market of the four colts that pulled clear of 15 others in Newmarket's Wood Ditton Stakes on Wednesday. Only Derby possible Airport finished ahead and several large reputations were left trailing in a race run in a useful time which will provide several future winners. (R Hannon)
BALDA BOY: Four times a winner in Ireland, this 10-year- old chaser is slowly regaining form and was a good second to Rafiki at Uttoxeter on Tuesday. Prefers soft. (T Forster)
DEL DEYA: Although now four, was having only fifth career start when winning Earl of Sefton Stakes and can continue to improve. (J Gosden)
ISTIBSHAR: Given a tender ride when fifth in the well contested maiden won by Numbered Account at Newmarket on Tuesday. Easy in the market compared with stable-companion Night Bell, who finished second. (J Gosden)
MOKHTAR: Full-brother to Salsabil who finished second to Sieve Of Time in Tuesday's Newmarket maiden won last year by Commander In Chief. Holds the Derby entry but can pick up some smaller contests on the way. (J Dunlop)
