COMING GOOD.

NEW ZEALAND-BRED HORSE IN AUSTRALIA. There is no bettor example of tbc rernariable development made by some young horses than Aladdin, trained at Randwick by F. T. Cush lor Mr T. IV. Trautwein. Aladdin was a winner in the first division of the Juvenile Handicap at Kensington, Sydney, recently, but, as lie has had only a few races and is as yet inexperienced, it was not anticipated that he would make any' forward, showing. At the same time his general solidity attracted great attention, and ho seems likely to develop into a useful galloper. Aladdin was not persevered with early, and i his may help him in his future career. He was bred in New Zealand, being by imported Limond from Solange. He is a three-quarter brother to Theo. It was because of this relationship that F. T. .Cush commissioned an agent to purchase him at the New Zealand yearling sales. Cush had not then seen the colt. When the yearling was landed in Australia Lush was greatly disappointed. The colt was so small that Cush had to look over the door of the box to see his purchase. C'usli immediately realised that considerable time would be necessary bclorc the colt could bo put into serious: work. He later broke him in, gave him some education on the course, and then had him. gelded and turned out. Aladdin cost 650gns. as a yearling. If his remarkable progress of the last lew months is maintained lie may reward his owner and trainer for their patience.
