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.

The Barry Hills-trained Moonax finished second in the Group One Prix Royal-Oak at Longchamp yesterday. Pat Eddery's mount was unsuited by the slow early pace and lost out in a sprint finish to Red Roses Story by half a length.

"He'll be schooled over hurdles now with the Champion Hurdle as his target," Hills said.

In the Group Three Prix du Petit Couvert, Croft Pool chased home Don't Worry Me by two lengths. Leap For Joy was fourth with Blue Iris and Millyant fifth and seventh respectively.
