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.

SILVER CHARM, the Dubai World Cup winner, suffered a surprise defeat at odds of 2-5 in the Grade Two Stephen Forster Handicap over nine furlongs at Churchill Downs on Saturday.

Silver Charm, who almost completed the US Triple Crown last season, went under by a length to Awesome Again, to whom he was conceding 14lb.

Both Silver Charm and Awesome Again failed to kept a straight course in the last 100 yards, as the latter, trained by Romford-born Pat Byrne, gained the day.

To add to the disappointment for Silver Charm's trainer, Bob Baffert, his second string, Semoran, a well beaten third, finished lame.
