After placing in five of his starts, Booker's brother Oriental Tycoon broke the ice in a 3yo maiden over 1400m at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.
Ridden by Nash Rawiller for Chris Waller, the bold-striding son of Written Tycoon defeated the Kermadec filly Treize by one and three-quarter lengths, with the Sebring filly Queen Astrid a half neck back in third.
Oriental Tycoon was coming off a third at Newcastle in his first start for the Waller stable after transferring from Peter and Paul Snowden.
"He was brilliant, and Nash rated him nicely," stable representative Charlie Duckworth said.
"I was worried he might have been going a bit too slow early, but he gave a good kick and was strong over the last 100m.
"He didn't have to do too much work to get there and cruise along.
"It's great to reward the owners who are new to the stable."
