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.

Frankel's juvenile half-sister Joyeuse claimed a Listed race victory today as she held on by a neck in the Dick Poole Fillies' Stakes at Salisbury, the 8-11 favourite hard-pressed to thwart the runner-up Dorothy B.

Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager of winning owner Khalid Abdullah, said: "She was obviously a bit rusty, she'd been off since Royal Ascot and has grown and developed. She probably needed it, but she has still quickened up quite nicely. The Cheveley Park [Stakes] is there if we want to stay at six furlongs and there's the Rockfel if we want to go to seven."
