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.

BORGIA, the German filly who was placed in both the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and the Breeders' Cup Turf last season, was backed yesterday to improve on that record by winning the world's richest race, the Dubai World Cup on Saturday.

The Bruno Schutz-trained four-year-old was cut to 9-1, from 12-1 by Ladbrokes, who have the Kentucky Derby winner Silver Charm as their 5-4 favourite. Clive Brittain's Luso is a 25-1 chance, with Godolphin's Swain on 10-1.

Walter Swinburn, who returned to race-riding in Britain at Lingfield on Saturday, will be without a mount in the Dubai race as Oscar Schindler is injured. Swinburn will instead partner Consort for Amanda Perrett's stable in the Lincoln.
