There has been some mention of holding the Breeders' Cup in Europe every few years. I wouldn't be in support of that idea, especially with Arc day providing all that's needed nowadays, and on a proper turf course.
However I think calling the BC the "World Thoroughbred Championships" reeks a little bit of self grandiloquence. When you consider that 19 countries were represented at the Carnival in Dubai last season it seems a bit ridiculous to name the BC in these terms when I would imagine no more than 6 or 7 countries were represented by runners in 2005.
