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.

Mousse Glacee, the Jean Lesbordes-trained filly who had been 16- 1 for the Oaks, went down by a head to Always Loyal (Criquette Head) in the Group Three Prix de la Grotte over a mile at Longchamp yesterday. Always Loyal will now go for the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches (French 1,000 Guineas) at Longchamp next month.

Daylami, a Derby entry, beat the fast-finishing Loup Sauvage by two lengths the Group Three Prix de Fontainebleu over a mile. Alain de Royer-Dupre, Daylami's trainer, said: "We will stick to a mile for now. The Poule d'Essai des Poulains [French 2,000 Guineas] is his next target."

Peintre Celebre, trained by Andre Fabre, enchanced his Prix du Jockey- Club (French Derby) claims with a comfortable victory in the Group Two Prix Greffulhe over 1m 2f 110yds.
