Newing in 18G9, got by Garactacus, his dam Gampanella by tttockwell—Florence, by Yelocipedi—Margarette, by Actoeou —Snowball, by Prime Minister—Yesta, by Delphini Highflyer. Garactacus (win or of the Derby in 18G2j, got by Kingston—Defenceless, by Defence. Sea stud book for full pedigree.

Cassivelanus is a bright bay, with black points, standing over 16 hands, and showing immense power and great quality. As a two-year-old ho won two races at Howmarket, beating large fields. Oaractacus is now the most fashionable as well as the most desirable representation of the Venison blood Kings;on was in every respect bred to stay. His sire, Venison, proved himself a horse of undeniable stoutness, and it is worthy of remark that during his career as a three-year-old he travelled on foot his circuit, which the more modern wonders (Fisherman and Rataplan ) accomplished by rail. It is stated upon reliable authority that Venison walked upwards of 900 miles, ran fourteen, and won twelve times in his three-year-old racing season. . . . Oaractacus is in every way most worthy the notice of breeders who fancy the Venison and Defence blood (and who could object to the latter especially ?) more particularly as he—as well as bearing a marked resemblance to his handsome son in other respects—has a good temper. . . . He is one of the large stamp, but, like his sire, a nice-sized, level made horse, with plenty of quality and racing points, and most likely to get racehorses." —Copperthivcdte s Sires of the Present Day. sjire of various winners and first favorites for the forthcoming Hew Zealand and Canterbuiy Cup—Envious, hair Agnes colt ; also, sire to Encore, late winner of thejc'unedin I'ally-Ho Steeplechase, Miss King filly, and others too numerous to particularise.
