Athens Wood- The 1971 St. Leger Stakes (Doncaster)

Athens Wood (foaled 1968 in Ireland) was a Thoroughbred racehorse bred by Kilcarn Stud near Navan in County Meath, Ireland. Athens Wood was owned and raced by Eileen Joel Rogerson, the daughter of prominent financier and racing stable owner, Solomon Joel. Trained by Tom Jones, the colt made his racing debut as a two-year-old in July 1970.
In September, 1971, Athens Wood won the most important race of his career at Doncaster Racecourse when Lester Piggott rode him to victory in the Classic St. Leger Stakes.
