Caractacus (win or of the Derby in 1862), got by Kingston—Defenceless, by Defence. See stud book for full pedigree.

Cassivelanuu is a bright bay, with black points, standing oyer 16 hands, and showing immense power and great quality. As a two-year-old he won two races at Newmarket, beating large fields. Caractaeus is now tho most fashionable as well as the most desirable representation of the Venison blood. . . . . Kings on was in every respect brad to stay. His sire, Venison, proved himself a h srse 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 aid 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. , . . Caractaeus is in every way moat worthy the notice of breeders who fancy the Venison and Defence blood (and who could object to the latter especially I) 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.’'— Copperthwaite’s Sires of the Present Day. thro of various winners and first favorites ior the forthcoming New Zealand and Canterbury Cup—Envious, Fair Agnes colt ; also, sire to Encore, late winner of thejuunedin i’ally-Ho Steeplechase, Miss King filly, and others too numerous to particularise.
