That's a function of the calendar. Breeders' Cup is run at an ideal time of the year for North American horses and as a coda to Euro season. The Austal-Asian horses have their own agenda at that time. World Cup comes at an OK time for North Americans if connections are specifically pointing for it seeing as it comes at the beginning of the season 'here'.
