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.Telescope has a sore left shin and “won't be running” in the Investec Derby at Epsom on June 1, said trainer Sir Michael Stoute.
The Galileo colt had a racecourse gallop at Lingfield on Wednesday, in which he was described as only "workmanlike" by the Newmarket handler.
He has since developed a sore shin, with Stoute of the opinion the premier Classic will now come too soon.
Stoute said: "He has a bit of soreness on a left shin and I don't think the horse will be going to Epsom.
"He's not giving us the right signs and won't be running."
Telescope missed an intend prep run in the Dante Stakes at York last week after grazes he sustained on his legs became infected.
He has not raced since winning a strong Newmarket maiden last September.
Amongst Telescope's owners is former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
Stoute said: "He has had hold-ups here and there and hasn't been giving us the right signs."
Asked if he was definitely out of the Derby, Stoute said: "He's not going to run."
