Maria's Mon

Is there any genetic/pedigree link between Maria's Mon, sire of Monarchos, and Ashado?
A 7 generation hypomating between Ashado and Maria's Mon shows the foal would have 10 ancestors common to both of them
Ribot 5f x 6m
Royal Charger 6f x 6m
Blue Larkspur 7f x 7f,7f,7m
La Troienne 7m,7f x 7f
Lavendula 7m x 7f
Menow 7f, 6m x 7f
Nasrullah 6m,6m x 6m
Native Dancer 6m x 6f
Nearco 7m,7m,7m x7m,7m,6m
Pharamond 7m x 6m
The most interesting aspect perhaps is the presence of 2 full sisters by Blue larkspur out of the mighty La Troienne. Businesslike ( Maria's Mon ) and Belle of Troy ( Ashado) reinforced by the half brother Binidack
Other sibling of note are Llavendula's offspring Ambiorix ( Maria's Mon) and Source Sucree (Ashado)
I do not suppose pedigree buffs would say there was overwhelming genetic affinity between the 2 but those who favour outcrossing with strong affinities further back may well like the mating.
