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.

LANFRANCO DETTORI'S trip to Longchamp yesterday proved fruitless when he finished last of six in the Group Three Prix la Force on Full Deposit.

The John Gosden-trained colt found little when asked for his effort two furlongs from home and was eventually beaten just under seven lengths by the winner, Percutant. A 22-10 shot trained by David Smaga and ridden by Guy Guignard, Percutant beat the favourite, Dare And Go, by a head. The first two home are set to meet again in the Prix du Jockey-Club.

Vintage Crop, last year's Melbourne Cup winner, made a winning reappearance in a Listed race at Leopardstown last night. Dermot Weld's seven-year- old, a 7-4 joint-favourite, won by five lengths.
