Bloodhorse had an interesting article on how the economic downturn might increase the chance for a Triple Crown winner:

Good Chance for a Triple Crown in 2013


I just hope he's a gelding. Was it Affirmed's trainer or owner who said they wouldn't really know how good he was until he raced at 4? Ah, the 1970's...

Not one good 3 yo retired to stud for this year unless you consider Zensational good. The 70's were before what has hurt the breed the most but everyone seems to ignore it, the bloodstock boom of the early 80's.

True indeed. Ah, the 1980's- remembered so fondly, in actual truth so incredibly destructive. For so many reasons.

Well, the real reason we'll have a triple crown winner in 2013 is because that will be the crop from which Indian Charlie's stud fee jumped way up to 75k.

Though, I was really thinking 2012 back around 2003.
