Guess a riddle
One king had a beautiful daughter. And the time to marry her had come. There were 2 pretenders who wanted to get married to her. Both of them were strong, smart, rich and noble. All the tasks that king set to them they had done equally excellently. And king had no idea how to choose the best. So, king decided to set to them the last test. He asked them to straddle theirs horses and said:"That man who finish the second will be a winner"
Apparently, both of them didn't move. Till the wise man came and said something to them. After that they moved as fast as one can.
What did the wise man say?

Relet, right you are! The wise man said - Exchange your horses :)

In your original version, I would have said that even if the man crosses the finish line, his horse will always cross it first, so he comes second.
At least I don't think that they could have exchanged horses, because that would be pretty noticeable.
