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.

Alderbrook, winner of the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham in March, finished second in the Group Two Grosser Preis der Wirtschaft at Baden- Baden yesterday.

Julie Cecil's six-year-old was beaten by three-quarters of a length by Andre Fabre's Freedom Cry. She added that Alderbrook would run next wherever the going is soft.

King's Theatre, last year's King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes winner, finished third on his American debut yesterday.

The colt, who left Henry Cecil in the winter, was beaten just over three lengths by Correntino in an allowance race over an extended mile at Belmont Park in New York.

His new trainer, Bill Mott, is now set to run the four-year-old at Atlantic City next month.
