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.

IAN BALDING confirmed at Warwick yesterday that Selkirk will run against Arazi in the Breeders' Cup Mile at Gulfstream Park at the end of this month.

The Kingsclere trainer said he had been concerned the high temperatures in Florida would be unsuitable for Selkirk but that owner George Strawbridge was keen for the colt to compete there.

The turf race could include other top European milers, Rodrigo de Triano, Hatoof, Lahib, Exit To Nowhere and Marling. Mr Brooks, Sunday's Prix de l'Abbaye winner, is also among the list of possibles.

Tenby, winner of the Grand Criterium at Longchamp on Saturday, was yesterday cut by Ladbrokes to 8-1 from 10-1 for next year's Derby. The colt may have one more race this season, perhaps in the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster on 24 October.
