About
Four Candles is a 4yo chestnut gelding from Australia, trained by Michael, John & Wayne Hawkes in Flemington. He is by stallion Castelvecchio out of dam Wecansay Mak. He has recorded one win in his career. On 12 Dec 2025 at Canterbury he secured his most notable victory, the $60,000 Maiden Plate. He has proved a profitable runner for punters; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 38% return on investment.
