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.

AS WELL as owning a sizeable share of the betting market, bookmakers William Hill are now setting up their own little racing dynasty.

In an attempt to emulate the firm's founder, who bred the 1949 Derby winner Nimbus, William Hill's managing director, John Brown, secured a nomination to the sire Saddlers' Hall for pounds 5,600 at a recent auction event for charity.

The firm is now looking for a suitable mare to be covered by Saddlers' Hall, the Michael Stoute-trained winner of the 1992 Coronation Cup winner, who stands at the Cheveley Park Stud at Newmarket.
