eld off [Cali Star]. Gulfstream is a tough place to ship into in the midd

TOKYO -- Olympic organizers agreed Tuesday to keep the rowing, canoe sprint and swimming venues at their planned sites in Tokyo for the 2020 Games, while postponing a decision until Christmas on a possible switch for volleyball.Representatives of the International Olympic Committee, Tokyo organizers and Japans central and city governments have been discussing ways of reducing costs, including possibly moving three sports from planned new venues to existing ones.The group was established in October after a Tokyo government panel said the Olympics cost could exceed 3 trillion yen ($27 billion) unless drastic cuts were made.At Tuesdays four-party talks, Tokyo organizing committee CEO Toshiro Muto proposed putting a 2 trillion yen ($18 billion) cap on total Olympic costs. A final budget has yet to be released.IOC vice president John Coates, who heads the international bodys coordination commission for Tokyo, said the ceiling was too high.The IOC has not agreed to that amount of money, Coates told reporters.We believe the cost can be significantly lower than that, he added, citing high figures on the rent. We can make some savings on those figures.The Tokyo panel had initially proposed moving the rowing and canoe sprint venue, currently planned at the Sea Forest in Tokyo, to Miyagi prefecture, 400 kilometers (250 miles) north of Tokyo, after its cost estimate soared to nearly 50 billion yen ($450 million). A new feasibility study shows the cost could come down to around 30 billion yen ($270 million).Considering the cost, location and various other factors, we have decided to hold (the rowing and canoeing) at the planned Sea Forest site, Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike said.Koike proposed using the Naganuma boat facility, which she had considered as an option, as a training facility ahead of the Tokyo Games. Koike had pushed for the Naganuma facility, which is in the area still recovering from the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, as a symbol of reconstruction, which she says gives significance to holding the Olympics in Japan in 2020.A new swimming facility at its planned location, Tatsumi in eastern Tokyo, will have seating capacity reduced from 20,000 to 15,000, saving 14 billion yen ($125 million).Koike said she still needs time to decide whether to move indoor volleyball to Yokohama Arena instead of building a new arena in Tokyos coastal Ariake district. She said the estimated 40 billion yen ($360 million) cost of the Tokyo venue is still very high, promising a decision by Christmas -- a delay the group accepted.Christophe Dubi, the IOCs executive director of the Olympic Games, said a venue change would require a lot of work and would be ambitious, hinting the likelihood of volleyball also staying in Tokyo.Cost estimates at a number of venues have surged since Tokyo was awarded the games in 2013, in part due to rising construction costs related to disaster reconstruction.Koike repeatedly cited the IOCs Agenda 2020 reforms that seek sustainable Olympics and encourage the use of existing venues, not just in Japan but universally, saying her effort is fully in line with them. Concerns over costs have discouraged some cities from bidding.---Follow Mari Yamaguchi on Twitter at https://www.twitter.com/mariyamaguchiFind her work at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/mari-yamaguchiAir Max 97 Clearance .

Both races are designated as Win and Youre In events for the 2016 Breeders Cup.Spelling Again, a Grade 2 winner last season, finished seventh behind Sheer Drama in her only previous start against Grade 1 company earlier this year in the Madison at Keeneland. She flew to South Florida for the Princess Rooney on Wednesday, along with Birdatthewire, who finished third as the even-money favorite and lone Grade 1 winner in the field.With Luis Saez aboard, Spelling Again was reserved within easy striking distance of the early leader, moved in tandem three wide with Kiss to Remember to challenge for command nearing the stretch, disposed of that rival despite failing to change her leads through midstretch, and then narrowly withstood a final surge by Cali Star.Cali Star checked while attempting to commence her rally near the quarter pole, swung well wide for clearance into the stretch, and then finished best of all to just miss. Birdatthewire moved within close contention in early stretch but could not sustain the bid while finishing another 2-1/2 lengths behind Cali Star.Spelling Again, a 5-year-old daughter of Awesome Again, is trained by Brad Cox for Seajayy Racing.ddddddddddddShe covered seven furlongs in 1:22.09 and paid $8.50.It was a fantastic race, great effort by her, said Cox by phone after watching the race from Churchill Downs.

But Luis recognized it, stayed after her, put that one away, and held off [Cali Star]. Gulfstream is a tough place to ship into in the middle of the summer, but shes a tough horse and tough horses overcome things. She rewarded us today. Im very proud of her.Cox said hell let his filly tell him when and where to run her next.Honestly, Im kind of a one race at a time kind of guy, said Cox. Well decide not so much where but when shell run next by how shes doing. Whether she runs in the Breeders Cup will be totally up to her as well. It just depends on how shes doing if we go that far with her.Doctor J Dub upsets Umphrey Turf SprintDoctor J Dub controlled the pace then held off a determined try from Daring Kathy, the only filly in the race, to upset the $75,000 Bob Umphrey Turf Sprint with a game neck decision as a 28-1 outsider in the field of nine grass sprint specialists.
