About

Candleford is a 6-year-old gelding from Ireland, trained by W. J. Haggas at Newmarket. He is sired by Kingman and his dam is Dorcas Lane. Throughout his career, Candleford has won 5 races. His most notable victory came on June 17, 2022, at Royal Ascot, where he was ridden by Tom Marquand and triumphed in the $51,540 Duke of Edinburgh Stakes (Handicap), beating Ajero. He has been a lucrative horse for bettors, yielding a 58 percent return on investment if backed consistently throughout his career.
