-McQueen, Sunday Silence, and Soccer Boy were BFFs to each other at Shadai Stallion Station.

-Soccer Boy and Ikuno Dictus are both Dictus crops.

-Soccer Boy's full sister foaled Stay Gold by Sunday Silence.

-Stay Gold was a perfect match for Oriental Art (and Point Flag), who were sired by Mejiro McQueen.

Coincidence?? Perhaps not.
