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.Saturday's feature meeting at Sandown, where the Grade One Tolworth Hurdle and Mildmay Cazalet Memorial Handicap Chase are the main events,
looks likely to beat the wet weather. Racing would not have been possible yesterday but the clerk of the course, Andrew Cooper, said: "The course is much improved. There are one or two parts that are very saturated, but the overall prospects are encouraging."
Prospects are not so good for Saturday's other turf meetings at Warwick and Haydock. Warwick will inspect at 2.30pm today, while Haydock inspect at 2pm. Haydock's clerk, Philip Arkwright, said: "We've had a wet day and the forecast is bad."
Today's card at Market Rasen and tomorrow's at Exeter were abandoned yesterday. At tomorrow's other turf meeting, Towcester, there will be an inspection at 8.30am today.
