Little drama in rematch of 'Wife' horses
October 4, 2010OCEANPORT, N.J. (AP) - A rematch between a pair of horses whose stretch duel became an international Internet sensation ends with both finishing out of the money.
Mywifenosevrything and Thewifedoesntknow were among 10 horses competing in Sunday's ninth race at Monmouth Park, and both ran close to the lead before fading in the stretch.
Thewifedoesntknow finished fourth, while Mywifenosevrything - who was sent off as the favorite - finished eighth in the race won by Marquet Madness.
The ``wife'' horses' 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 featured on a handful of TV broadcasts.
