About

Candle is a 7yo bay mare trained by Richard Didham of Aylesbury. She is out of the dam Flare and sired by Super Easy. So far she has secured five wins. Her biggest success arrived on 2 Aug 2025 at Riccarton Park, when she captured the $45 000 Open Handicap. Punters have found her profitable; backing her throughout her career would have generated a 77% return on investment.
