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.

Bint Salsabil is expected to run on Saturday in an attempt by connections to shore up her position as favourite for the 1996 Oaks. Sheikh Hamdan's filly is entered in the listed Sweet Solera Stakes at Newmarket.

John Dunlop trains Bint Salsabil, who is by 1989 Derby winner Nashwan out of 1990 1,000 Guineas, Oaks and Irish Derby winner Salsabil. The filly made a winning racecourse bow when taking a maiden at Ascot in June and was promptly installed as 16-1 favourite with William Hill for next year's Classic at Epsom. Dunlop's secretary Marcus Hosgood said yesterday: "She is a probable runner."
