Viewing in 1869, got by Caractacus, his dam Campauelle by -tockweil—Florence, by Vtdocipedi—Margarette, by Actteon—Snowball, by Prime Minister—Yesta, by Dolphin! Highflyer. Caractacus (win er of the Derby in 1862), got by Kingston Defenceless, by Defence. See stud book for full pedigree. Cassivelanus is a bright bay, with black points, standing over 16 hands, and showing immense power and groat quality. As a two-year-old he won two races at Rowmarket, beating large fields. Caractacus 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 ia worthy of remark that during his career as a three-yoar-oid he travelled on foot his circuit, which the more modern winders (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. . . . Caractacus is in every way moat worthy the notice or breeders who fancy the Venison and Defence blood (and who could object to the latter especially t) 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.
