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.

High Baroque, Peter Chapple-Hyam's unbeaten Chester Vase winner, was supplemented yesterday for Sunday's Prix du Jockey-Club (French Derby) at a cost of 250,000 francs (pounds 32,938).

Chapple-Hyam is likely to be three-handed at Chantilly because he also plans to run Astor Place (Pat Eddery) and Polaris Flight (Michael Kinane). John Reid rides High Baroque.

Godolphin's Don Micheletto (Frankie Dettori) was also supplemented for the race, which will now have a maximum field of 15. French-trained Loup Solitaire has been pulled out because of back problems.
