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.Bahhare, the winter favourite for the 2,000 Guineas, will miss the race after suffering a stress fracture of the pelvis. The John Dunlop- trained colt, officially rated Europe's second best juvenile last year, pulled up lame when working last month and was unable to resume his Classic preparation this week.
A statement issued by Dunlop's stable said: "The damage is minimal and the prognosis for complete recover is excellent. He will require complete rest for at least six weeks and there is no possibility of him running before the middle of this season.
Bookmakers have revised their 2,000 Guineas odds with Shamikh rising to 3-1 clear favouritism with Ladbrokes from 5-1. Bahhare had been an 11-2 chance in Ladbrokes' betting, having drifted from 4-1.
