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.Jamie Spencer's helicopter dash to Haydock yesterday paid off when Best Prospect gave him a three-winner lead (148-145) over Seb Sanders in the jockeys' championship.
Spencer, who had earlier finished unplaced on his only ride at Ascot, was delayed and missed his first intended mount, Old Romney, who finished unplaced in fifth race at Haydock.
However, Spencer won the next race on Best Prospect, the 6-5 favourite. Spencer said: "I thought Old Romney, on his form for Mark Johnston, would have had a good chance but the ground was probably too soft. Best Prospect loves to get his toe in but the race didn't really pan out. They went fast, then hacked for two furlongs and quickened it up," he told At The Races.
"He's won and is looking very well-treated again. The handicapper has given him a chance and he has taken advantage of it."
