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.Connections of Simply Dashing are still to decide which of his two engagements the six-year-old will take up tomorrow.
Simply Dashing is entered in the Tripleprint Gold Cup at Cheltenham and Haydock's Tommy Whittle Chase.
Trainer Tim Easterby said: "Simply Dashing is in good form, absolutely great form. But we don't know which race he'll go for yet. We'll just have to wait and see how much rain they've had."
If the son of Simply Great goes to Haydock he will be racing over three miles for the first time, but this does not worry the Habton trainer. Easterby said: "He'll get three miles all right," he stated.
Simply Dashing is 4-1 with Coral for the King George VI Chase at Kempton. However, a decision on his participation on Boxing Day will not be made until after he has raced at the weekend.
Andrew Thornton will ride the 1996 Grand National winner Rough Quest in the Tommy Whittle Chase.
