"Begley's environmentalism stemmed from a very young age, perhaps from his interest in horses. His grandfather owned a farm in Kentucky, known as Wild Acres, where he raised and trained race horses. Begley spent each summer of his childhood and adolescent years training to become a jockey, and if it had not been for an audition in Kentucky one summer for Cockfighter in 1971, Begley would have become a jockey for a living. In fact, in 1972, Begley raced in the Kentucky Derby on a horse named Three-Legged Joe. Incidentally, the horse did have four legs, but was named so for its oddly-colored hind leg that seemed to be almost transparent. Though Begley did not win the Derby, he placed 4th."
