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.

Henrietta Knight retained her crown as the Queen of Exeter when saddling a double at the course yesterday afternoon following victories for Colonel Blazer and Thunder Road. Only Martin Pipe has trained more winners at the Haldon Hill circuit in recent years.

Colonel Blazer and Jason Titley appeared to have a simple task in the Royal Navy 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle and so it proved as stablemate Blowing Rock was the only rival to pose a threat.

The five-year-old proved a flop on his last outing at Ayr and Miss Knight explained: "He ran badly there but Jason said he lost a shoe and his action at the same time."
