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.

Singspiel will stand as a stallion at Sheikh Mohammed's Dalham Hall Stud in Newmarket in 1998, it was announced yesterday. His fee will be pounds 25,000.

Britain's retired champion is expected to remain at Hollywood Park for another three to four weeks while he recovers from the injury that ended his racing career on Thursday.

The colt has responded well to the operation to insert two screws in the cannon-bone fractured during his final piece of exercise for the Breeders' Cup.

Stuart Messenger, Kevin Bradshaw and Mick Blair, Michael Stoute's backroom team, have kept a round the clock watch on the horse.

Sheikh Mohammed's racing manager Anthony Stroud said: "I went to see Singspiel on Saturday after the racing and he seemed in very good order."
