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.

BALLET PRINCE: Ran with distinction to finish a two-length third behind Duke Of Eurolink and Quick Ransom over a mile-and-a-half at Goodwood on Friday. Not only was that trip inadequate, but the ground proved too lively for this lightly-raced colt who looks likely to play a big role in the 1m 6f Ebor Handicap on 17 August. (M Stoute)
SHIFTING MIST: completed a four-timer at Thirsk on Friday, easing up but still winning by five lengths. A rise in the weights must follow, but her dam, Misty Halo, was a prolific winner for the stable, which is sure to continue to place her to the best advantage. (Sir M Prescott)
SLIVOVITZ: travelled like the winner of the Nottingham Stewards' Cup all the way except on the line, when just caught by Captain Carat, on Monday night, when the rest did not come close to landing a blow. This improved form looks good enough to land a handicap in the near future. (M Heaton-Ellis)
