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.

The Irish St Leger winner, Oscar Schindler, will attempt to continue his winning sequence in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp a week on Sunday. Kevin Prendergast, his trainer, announced yesterday that the colt may also tilt at the Melbourne Cup on 5 November.

"There is a good span between the races of about a month," Prendergast said. "The horse couldn't be better after the St Leger. He won very well and he still seems to be improving. He will be coming back down in trip in the Arc but he has a great cruising speed."

Oscar Schindler, who also won the Ormonde and Hardwicke Stakes, is quoted at 20-1 for the Arc by William Hill and at 14-1 for the Melbourne Cup.
