No drama in latest rematch of 'wife' horses
November 15, 2010OCEANPORT, N.J. (AP) -Another rematch between a pair of horses whose stretch duel became an international Internet sensation ended with both finishing out of the money.
Mywifenosevrything and Thewifedoesntknow were among seven horses in Sunday's fifth race at Monmouth Park, and both ran close to the lead before fading in the stretch. Thewifedoesntknow finished fifth, while Mywifenosevrything finished last in the race won by Lady Durlyn.
The race was similar to their rematch last month, when both finished out of the money.
Their initial meeting 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.
