Alex Trebek Has Led a More Interesting Life Than All of Us

He Used to Breed Horses for Recreation

Trebek's equine affection is no secret. In 1996, Trebek acquired a 700-acre horse farm called Creston Farms, stating that he was overcome "by the beauty of the place." While managing the horse ranch, Trebek produced a number of championship-winning racehorses, including his own colt, Reba's Colt. Trebek sold the property in 2008. It is now used as an event center.
