Cassivelanus is a bright bay, with black points, standing over 16 h.inds, and showing immense power and great quality. As a two-year-old he won two races at Anwmarket, beating large Helds. Oaractacus is now the most fashionable as welt 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 in worthy of remark that during his career as a three-year-old ho travelled on foot his circuit, which the more modern .. orders (Fisherman aid Rataplan i accomplished by rail. It is stated upon reliable authority that Venison walked upwards of 900 miles, ran founeen, 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 largo 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 Fresent Day.
