Another Desert Classic

I just saw that, in addition to Ultra Blend, BC Juvenile Turf entrant Wrote has a Desert Classic in his two-generation, DRF provided pedigree. His dam is the English Desert Classic, by Green Desert. You may remember that I was exclaiming what a lowly runner the Desert Classic who is Ultra Blend's broodmare sire is. How odd to have this name doubly represented in the Breeders' Cup.

Are there any other examples of this? In this or any other Breeders' Cup? I'll be floored if you pull out such an overlap from the 1992 Breeders' Cup or something. Even with some comprehensive Breeders' Cup index of pedigrees, it would be a hard thing to track down. Presumably, sires, sire of sires, dams, and broodmare sires wouldn't all be in the same index.
