Syndication newcomer Bruce Slade's first win came in the absence of his trainer but the signs are promising they will make up for that lost opportunity after Mr Boomsday scored at Canterbury on Wednesday.

Backed by Gai Waterhouse's Tulloch Lodge, Round Table Racing has already had a Melbourne Cup runner in Tres Blue but Slade says nothing can beat having a winner after being in business for less than a year.

"It's a special win. It will be on the wall forever," Slade said.

Round Table Racing's alliance with one of racing's biggest personalities - and best trainers - evolved out of Denise Martin's decision to have her 2014 yearling purchases under the Star Thoroughbreds banner trained by Chris Waller.

Waterhouse will return home on Friday from a trip to Royal Ascot and a stopover in Hong Kong but she is certain to receive a favourable report from Mark Newnham about the future of Mr Boomsday.

Leading into a savage headwind, Mr Boomsday, backed from $3.20 to start a clear favourite at $2.70, established a good break on the field on the turn before beating Nazca ($26) by 1-1/4 lengths in the TAB Early Quaddie Handicap (1250m).

"In time I think it will rate a pretty good win because he went along at a good clip into a stiff breeze down the back," Newnham said.

At $240,000, Mr Boomsday was one of the dearer lots at a New Zealand ready-to-run sale last year.

Newnham said it was a sale where the astute eye can tell you more than anything on a pedigree page, despite Mr Boomsday being closely related to three stakes performers.

"With a ready-to-run sale it's not how they are bred but what you can see," Newnham said.

In Mr Boomsday, Slade said he was sold on the youngster's fluent action, a trait that was evident at Canterbury as he flattened out to put his opposition away with a minimum of fuss.

Besides Tres Blue and 18 yearlings on his books, Slade has also syndicated imported stayer Excess Knowledge as well as former New Zealand filly Role Model who figured during the Sydney autumn carnival.
