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.THE TRIFECTA, which got off to a flying start at the weekend, will continue only on a once-a-day basis for the immediate future. The Tote's new bet was launched in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood on Saturday with a guaranteed pool of pounds 100,000.
However, the pool swelled to pounds 127,909 as punters endeavoured to predict the first three home in the correct order. With big-priced horses filling the first three places there was a dividend of pounds 6,311.00 to a pounds 1 stake from 14.39 winning tickets.
Outsiders again filled two of the three places in yesterday's chosen race, the 49's Handicap, at Newcastle. There was no guaranteed pool, but punters staked a total of pounds 13,241.60 and there were 5.54 winning tickets paying pounds 1,697.00 to a pounds 1 stake.
The Tote's spokesman, Rob Hartnett, said yesterday: "We are pleased with today's race and the dividend was 40 per cent larger than the Tricast."
The Tote will give punters another incentive to tackle the Trifecta next Saturday with a guaranteed pool of pounds 100,000 on the inaugural running of the pounds 150,000 Tote International Handicap at Ascot. Today's Trifecta race is the Showcase race, the 3.45 at Ripon.
