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.

VICTOR CHANDLER, the bookmaking firm which sponsors the feature chase of tomorrow's racing, has hedged its bets over the itinerant event by opening a book on where the race will take place.

The two-mile Victor Chandler Handicap Chase, for which Waterloo Boy heads the weights, now looks likely to take place at its original venue of Ascot, after the course received a more favourable assessment yesterday. Another inspection takes place early this morning. The race could still be switched to Warwick if the weather, which claimed Ascot's fixture today, worsens again. A decision would have to be made by noon today.

The sponsors said: 'Ascot looks the favourite again. We go 2-5 Ascot, 5-2 Warwick, 6-1 no race at all.'
