Storm Trooper backers out on manoeuvres
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.Storm Trooper, who put up possibly the most impressive performance in last week's Classic trials when winning Newmarket's Feilden Stakes, was well supported for the 2,000 Guineas and Derby yesterday and is down to 10-1 from 12-1 in Ladbrokes' Guineas betting.
There was a high turnout at the latest declaration stage for the Guineas, published yesterday. A total of 19 fillies have stayed in against the odds-on favourite for the 1,000 Guineas, Bosra Sham, while there are 25 colts declared for the 2,000 Guineas. That includes Godolphin's trio Helicon, Don Micheletto, and Kammtarra, who are likely to leave the Guineas to stablemate, Mark Of Esteem.
