Jim Goldie wasted no time in setting off towards the next landmark when Baaher gave the Glasgow handler his 501st success as a trainer with victory at Perth.
Stellite gave Goldie win number 500 with a Flat victory at Hamilton on Saturday and he chalked up another with his only runner of the day, in the toteplacepot Maiden Hurdle.
Baaher was opening his account at the 23rd attempt and it was conditional jockey Paul Norton's first winner as a professional.
Norton, who has had success on the Flat as an amateur, made full use of his 10lb allowance on the 100-30 shot.
Desert Soul set the pace, but the race developed into a match between Baaher and favourite Definite All Star over the final two flights and Baaher proved the stronger on the run-in to score by a length and a quarter.
Goldie said: "It was a first-class ride. Many jockeys would be proud of that. I'm delighted for the horse. He's been knocking at the door, so it's good to get him first past the post. I'm now a darts player - I've got 501!"
