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.

HENRY CECIL registered the first victory from his 100- strong juvenile battalion through the newcomer Al Rawda at Pontefract yesterday. Cecil has made an uncharacteristically slow start with his youngsters and Al Rawda was only his fourth runner from that age group.

A more pleasing statistic for Cecil is his strike-rate at the Yorkshire course - Al Rawda's success kept his win-to- runner ratio over the past five years at close to 50 per cent.

'Most of my two-year-olds are on the backward side,' the former champion trainer said. 'But one or two are just starting to come right.'
