I edited this like 8 times. First I want to say, I'm just having a conversation not being argumentative. I wanted to add that because I don't want to come across harsh or something because that is not my intent. I've always found the International list of protected names interesting and truly how few horses are on it.

It's funny when a different TB name registry allows the use of a pretty well-known name.
Not really, while he might be well known in the US, he didn't win a G1 race since the SA Derby at 3. There are way more talented US horses that aren't on the list including Azeri, Holy Bull, Point Given, Serena's Song and countless others. Honestly if Justify doesn't win the BC Classic, his name won't even automatically go onto the list. They have added him to the Temporary protected names list though along with Cracksman. In the grand scheme of things, if every horse that won at G1 race in every country or was a Champion was added to the list, names would go away super fast.
Surprisingly, there are only
3069 names that are Internationally protected. In 2009 the committee removed almost 1600 names from the list from pre-1950, you can view those on the 2009 list.(the link to all is at the bottom)
