Referencing the real life Transcend staring at the camera car in the 2011 Dubai World Cup, something that would be an oddity for Japanese racehorses who'd never seen a car following alongside the pack.
+spoilers since this references the fact that DaSca (and Machan) made a cameo in the new movie but Vodka (or anyone from the 02-gen sans HishiMi for that matter) did not.
