(Newser) – Jockey Elivs Trujillo pushed Maryfield to a half-length win in the rain-drenched Breeder's Cup Mare and Filly Sprint yesterday, ESPN reports.

Maryfield, who has won four of five races in wet conditions, paid $18 to win. She finished in 1:09.80 after closing in on the early leaders, who posted times of 21.20 seconds for the quarter mile and 44 after the half. Miraculous Miss paid $37.40 to place, and Miss Macy Sue $4.60 to show.
