Later, their bloodlines merged when Sunday Silence's son, Stay Gold, mated with two of Mejiro McQueen's daughters, Point Flag and Oriental Art. The horses produced out of this combination left remarkable results, including Dream Journey, Orfevre and Gold Ship.
			*** This specific combination, known as the "Golden Combination", is also sometimes called the "Sutema Combination", named after the sire Stay Gold and the damsire Mejiro McQueen.
			*** The "Golden Combination" is also referred to as such because of the highly successful careers of the horses it would produce.
