Caractacus (win er of the Derby in 1862), got by Kingston—by Defence. See stud book for full pedigree. Oassivelanus is a bright bay, with black points, standing over 16 hands, and showing immense power and great quality. As a two-year-old he won two races at .Newmarket, beating large fields. Caractacus is now the most fashionable as well as the most desirable representation of the Venison blood Kingston 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 auchority 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 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 sou 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.
