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.Easthorpe will now be ridden by Jamie Osborne in tomorrow's Murphy's Gold Cup at Cheltenham. Jason Titley, the eight-year-old's regular rider, was detained in hospital yesterday with a suspected bruised kidney following an accident on the home gallops.
"Jason is still in hospital, he is on a drip and still passing some blood, so I don't think he will be riding for a while," the gelding's trainer, Henrietta Knight, said. "Easthorpe is very well and Jamie Osborne will ride," she added.
Mick Fitzgerald still hopes to ride the well-backed Big Matt in the Murphy's despite hurting an arm in a fall at Newbury on Wednesday. "My arm is not too bad, a bit black looking and I feel a bit sore," Fitzgerald said. ``But I'll be right for Saturday."
