ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) Blingismything won the $100,000 Wilshire Stakes for fillies and mares by a nose in a four-horse photo finish Sunday at Santa Anita.

Ridden by Tyler Baze, Blingismything ran a mile on turf in 1:37.16 and paid $7.40, $3.80 and $2.40 as the 5-2 second choice.

Smoove It returned $5.60 and $3.20, while 9-5 favorite Birdlover was another head back in third and paid $2.40 to show.

Blingismything was next to last with a quarter mile to go when Baze split horses off the rail and eked out the victory over a fast-closing Smoove It, who was caught wide.
