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 POST of Sheikh Mohammed's first jockey will give Steve Cauthen's successor the most numerically strong book of rides in Europe, though in terms of quality it trails the Khalid Abdullah-Pat Eddery team, writes Paul Hayward.

With around 500 horses in training in Britain, France and Germany, the most dynamic of the Maktoum brothers looks certain to maintain his hold on the owners' championship and is a safe bet to make amends for last year's disappointing record in major races. Among the best of the Sheikh's prospects for 1993 are Zieten, Taos, Marillette, Blush Rambler, Dayflower and Barathea.

John Gosden in Newmarket and Andre Fabre in France are his principal trainers.
