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.COLOSSUS: finished on the heels of the placed horses in the 24-runner sprint won by Heather Bank at Newmarket on Saturday. Has dropped down the handicap ratings recently and is now very capable of an imminent return to winning form. (C Brittain)
MISS PIMPERNEL: a victory has proved elusive for this two- year-old, but her three-length fourth to Lamu Lady at Catterick on Friday indicates a win in a modest maiden race awaits. She gave her rivals an advantage by starting slowly but made up a lot of ground in the last two furlongs. (B Hanbury)
SECRET TURN: tiredness caused him to tip over in the final stages of his steeplechase debut at Kempton on Saturday, but this six-year-old had until then jumping fluently, suggesting this is a promising recruit to fencing. (A Turnell)
VICTOR BRAVO: two and a half miles around Kempton proved too sharp for this five- year-old hurdler when third to Annicombe Run. Looks sure to win a handicap when running over a longer distance on a stiffer track. (N Gaselee)
