This was one of the most competitive and entertaining Triple Crown seasons I can recall. There doesn’t have to be a Triple Crown on the line for it to special. Cheers to Sovereignty and Journalism for a brilliant five weeks.

Natalie has done some of the most important service journalism to this sport there is. She left a meticulous record without which I can confidently say I would not have been able to write DEATH OF A RACEHORSE. A sterling body of work that should be the envy of any good reporter.

Setting aside the question of intent— clearly a matter of dispute—the challenge for Iran is producing not just a nuclear weapon, which experts say it could potentially do within months if it decided to, but producing a working delivery system, which could take longer.

Assessing Iran’s intent is another layer/part of this — have they pivoted & decided to actually complete the work of building a nuclear weapon? US intel view: Iran has still NOT decided to take that step. Gabbard’s March testimony relevant to this layer & WH spox yesterday. šŸ‘‡
