Racing: Geneaology returns to fray
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.GO TO Wincanton today and play an active role in victim support to two horses that have been badly treated in controversial races.
Mr Geneaology, the runner forced off the track when Richard Dunwoody took exception to Adrian Maguire challenging on the inside, has an excellent chance of compensation in the opening claiming hurdle. Maguire again rides, but Dunwoody, who would normally partner his main rival Nanquidno, begins a 14-day ban for his misdemeanour.
Esha Ness, first home in last year's void Grand National, takes to the track for the first time this season in the Wincanton Handicap Chase. With Aintree again the target, he is likely to need the outing.
John White, Esha Ness's anguished partner in the National and now a trainer in Ireland, has flown over to share the experience.
