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.NORTHERN raider Island Magic took advantage of the lack of battle-readiness among the top juveniles to land a Group Three Solario Stakes for which just three runners turned out at Sandown yesterday.
But while Linda Ramsden's improving colt made the best of his way home, the favourite, Governor George, was unable to make the same use of wide open spaces. Lanfranco Dettori, his jockey, allowed himself to become trapped on the rail by the third runner, News And Echo, until well inside the final furlong and by the time the pair had won the war of nerves, the winner had flown.
