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.

Henry Cecil's problems with Sheikh Mohammed took a new twist yesterday when the owner ordered the beleaguered trainer to withdraw two of his horses from their weekend engagements.

The trainer received a fax from the Sheikh asking him to take out Kalabo at Goodwood today and Marocco at Haydock tomorrow.

The Sheikh's racing manager Anthony Stroud confirmed that the two horses will be sent to the Middle East.

The decision is another blow to Cecil after he received a public dressing down from the Sheikh last weekend.

Cecil has already lost top two-year-olds Mark Of Esteem and Allied Forces to Dubai in recent weeks.
