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.

Salisbury is the latest course to sign up to The Horse Racing Channel, taking the total number of courses committed to the venture to 28.

Representatives from both THRC and the new At The Races have made presentations to the Salisbury executive and the board decided to support the racecourse-owned option. However, Goodwood manager Rob Fabricius, a key figure in THRC, was unable to give an exact launch date for the service.

* The jump jockey Timmy Murphy will visit a sports injury consultant after being injured in a fall at Navan on Sunday. Murphy rode Beef Or Salmon to win the Punchestown Heineken Gold Cup and is favourite with Skybet to replace Tony McCoy as stable jockey to Martin Pipe.
