  Arcadia, CA (Sports Network) - Maram, ridden by Jose Lezcano, held on for a nose victory over Heart Shaped in the first ever running of the $1 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. The two-year-old filly covered the one- mile distance in 1:35.15 on the grass.

  Winner of the Miss Grillo Stakes at Belmont Park, Maram made a late surge down the stretch to catch the front-running 5-2 favorite Laragh. Heart Shaped, with jockey John Murtagh, came charging down the lane to nearly catch Maram at wire.

  Laragh finished third and Saucey Evening was fourth in the 12-filly field.

  Maram is perfect in three starts for owners Karen Woods and Saud bin Khaled. Trained by 29-year-old Chad Brown, Maram earned $540,000 and has earnings of $663,120. All three starts have been on the turf.

  Sent off at 11-1, Maram paid $24.20, $13.20 and $6.40. Heart Shaped returned $11.60 and $6.60, and Laragh paid $3.40 to show.
