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 a coders (Fisherman and ilataplani accomplished by rail. It is stated upon reliable authority that Venison walked upward-, of 900 miles, ran fourteen, and won twelve times in ilia three-year-old racing season. . . . Caractaous 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 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.
