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.Richard Hughes has been unsuccessful in his appeal against the six-day suspension he picked up at Wolverhampton on Saturday evening.
The title-chasing jockey was found guilty of careless riding after guiding Barney Curley's Aviso to success in division two of the Cleanwastesolutions Handicap.
The stewards at Dunstall Park found that in manoeuvring his mount to the left Hughes had caused multiple interference.
Hughes admitted to the breach of the rules but was appealing against the severity of the six-day ban, (October 16 and October 18-22), which will see him miss Champions' Day at Newmarket on October 16.
