Four Candles (AUS) Horse
About
Four Candles is a 4yo chestnut gelding from Australia trained by Michael, John & Wayne Hawkes. He is by the stallion Castelvecchio out of the mare Wecansay Mak. To date he has recorded one victory, which came on 12 Dec 2025 at Canterbury when he captured the $60,000 Maiden Plate – his most notable triumph. Over his career he has been a worthwhile selection for bettors, delivering a 38% return on investment for anyone who backed him throughout.
