About
Four Candles is a 3yo bay horse from Japan trained by Masaru Honda. He is by the stallion Epiphaneia out of the mare Derma Koiuta. To date he has recorded two wins, the most notable coming on 5 Oct 2025 at Kyoto, where he captured a $15,200,000 purse. The horse has been a lucrative performer for bettors; those who backed him throughout his career would have realised a 93% return on investment.
