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.

The controversial trainer Lynda Ramdsen faces another trip to Jockey Club headquarters to answer accusations of running a non-trier. The trainer, along with jockey Steve Williams were referred to Portman Square over the running of Captain Carat at Leicester on Monday.

Three weeks ago the Ramsden-trained Top Cees caused an uproar by coasting to victory in the Chester Cup, having been tenderly ridden on his previous run.

Captain Carat finished seventh at Leicester, drifting from 9-2 favourite to 13-2. His presence there had been a surprise. During an inquiry into his improved form after he had won at Doncaster on 8 May, connections had claimed that he was unsuited by the track at Leicester on his previous outing.
