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.

Three jockeys are in the running for the ride on Derby winner Benny The Dip in the Juddmonte International Stakes at York next week. The colt's trainer, John Gosden, said yesterday that a decision would be taken at the weekend.

Willie Ryan, who rode the colt at Epsom and when second in the Eclipse, Olivier Peslier, who landed the Dante on Benny The Dip, and Frankie Dettori, subject to Sheikh Mohammed's requirements, are being considered.

Gosden said he will be discussing the situation with Benny The Dip's American-based owner, Landon Knight. He added that Ryan will partner the colt in work on Saturday.
