Hoag's object

Check out the beautiful ring galaxy Hoag's object. One thing has always bothered me - the other presumed more distant ring galaxy seen through the "eye of the needle". What are the chances of that happening ?!! To me it looks more like something orbiting the central mass and gathering up the material between that and the outer ring.
On the other hand coincidences do happen.
