NBC’s Jimmy Fallon said buying a stake in a racehorse was the “worst investment of my entire life.” Fallon: “I ran into some guys and they’re like, ‘Hey Jimmy, do you want to invest in a racehorse?’ And I go, ‘Of course. That's exactly what I want to do, that’s the best idea.’ ... They told me the amount of money, and I go, ‘Oh wow, that's a lot,’ so I have a business manager and I call him up. He goes, ‘No, don't do this. It's terrible.’ I'm like, ‘Trust me, this is great.’” Fallon said he thought he could “name the horse and I said, ‘You're going to be Sea Warrior and you're going to win the Kentucky Derby.’ ... Turns out you can't name the horse.” Fallon: “The name of my horse, it turns out, is Poco Bueno. I wish I was kidding around. So I go, ‘Poco Bueno? What does that mean, what does that mean?’ They go, ‘It means a little bit good.’” Fallon: “I mean, who bought Mucho Bueno? I would have settled for Bueno.” Fallon said he put $500 on Poco Bueno to win, thinking, “This is all going to be in the movie when he wins the Derby. Last place, never heard from him ever again” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 1/13).
