Love how they do JoJo copyrighted stand localisation thingy for IRL international horses:

Tony Bin — Toni Bianca
Pay the Butler — Obey Your Master (ok, I can't decide whether this one is gigabrained or just stupid)
Moon Madness — Moon Light Lunacy
My Big Boy — Michelle My Baby
Bonecrusher — Ellerslie Pride (I have no idea what was the reasoning behind this one)

Bonecrusher is actually pretty easy to figure out - Ellerslie is the actual place in NZ (it's suburb of Auckland), known for Ellerslie Racecourse where the New Zealand Stakes (now hilariously named the Bonecrusher New Zealand Stakes) running.

And because Bonecrusher was literally one of the most famous racing horses that ran at that track, winning the now dedicated to his name New Zealand Stakes (twice) and New Zealand Derby, to the point that there is actually a bronze statue dedicated to him installed in 2018 - hence the "localized" name.

Ironically - they got the Montjeu name right after for the game version representation of Special Week story and Japan Cup 1998, along with completely redesigning her compared to Broye version - so it's not like they possibly omit the non-Japanese horses on purpose, it's just what they do in general when they not got rights at the time (or simply not trying to approach owners either).

For joke, they made Stay Gold appear twice under different designs and names in S1 and Top Road OVA - before revealing the actual Stay Gold umamusume very recently.
