Wet weather scratches rematch of 'Wife' horses
September 13, 2010OCEANPORT, N.J. (AP) - Wet weather has wiped out a rematch between a pair of horses whose stretch duel became an Internet sensation.
Mywifenosevrything and Thewifedoesntknow were both entered in Sunday's eighth race at Monmouth Park. But both were scratched when rain forced the race from the turf course to the main track at the Oceanport oval.
Their first meeting on Aug. 22 produced a memorable stretch call by track announcer Larry Collmus: ``Mywifenosevrything. Thewifedoesntknow. They're one-two. Of course they are!''
Mywifenosevrything prevailed by two lengths, and the ``wife'' exacta paid $29.40.
Collmus' call went viral on YouTube and was prominently featured on a handful of TV broadcasts.
