Wragge then asks Collmus if he was excited to see those two horses in the same race, Collmus says, "Actually, I said to myself, 'Don't mess this up.'" Announcers like Collmus have 12 races a day with 9 horses in each race, lots of memorization. "That race I remembered though," he explains.

Racetrack announcer Larry Collmus sat down with Erica Hill and Chris Wragge on this morning's 'Early Show' to discuss the bizarre race in which two horses dueled to the finish line, one named 'My Wife Knows Everything' and the other, 'The Wife Doesn't Know.' When asked if this was the most unusual race he's ever called, Collmus replies, "There's 35,000 horses bred in a year, all over the United States. Those two horses with those names end up at the same track, the same day, the same race, and they finish first and second. It's just insane."
