Training partners Patrick and Michelle Payne claim a winning quartet at Flemington on Saturday
The consistent gelding made amends for a last start Flemington defeat with a strong performance under rising star apprentice jockey Tom Prebble, who sealed a running treble with the win.
Michelle Payne hailed the Flemington milestone as 'a huge team effort'.
'Patrick has worked so hard at home with everybody, it's a huge team effort,' Payne said.
' Jimmy is the stable favourite, so beautiful to do it with him.'
Earlier on the card, Payne saddled winners Buccleuch, Stop The Rock and Bold Soul.
Patrick Payne trained four provincial winners previously at Mildura in 2022.
The four-timer bettered Michelle Payne's best efforts in the saddle before she turned her hand to training.
'I nearly rode the quaddie legs at Bendigo one day,' Payne laughed.
'I got pipped on the post, so three sadly.'
Payne praised the 'beautiful' rides of Billy Egan (Buccleuch and Stop The Rock) and nephew Tom Prebble (Bold Soul and Jimmy The Bear) at Flemington.
Prebble rated Jimmy The Bear nicely three back the rail but needed galloping room in the straight.
'Beautiful ride by Tom, he didn't panic,' Payne said.
'Obviously he had to guide him through a tight run and the horse just did the rest.'
Jimmy The Bear is set to advance to the Listed Winter Championship Series Final (1600m) at Flemington on July 5.
'All going well, I can't see why not,' Payne said.
'He's training on beautifully and today was a really effortless win.'
Prebble enjoyed riding another winner for the family.
'He put his best foot forward today and he was super,' Prebble said.
'He's a big horse, I knew he would be able to push his way out if I needed to, but had to wait for the race to unfold, Flemington is a beautiful track and usually every horse does gets its chance.'
Casino Seventeen, the 2024 Perth Cup winner, finished off well to run second in The David Bourke at his first start in Melbourne for Cranbourne trainer Gavin Bedggood.
Holymanz and Pounding rounded out the top four.
Earlier, Payne enjoyed the win of progressive three-year-old Stop The Rock.
'He's a lovely horse, he's a real sleeper actually,' Payne said.
'All of his trials before he raced were pretty moderate and Patrick put the blinkers on his first start and he won at good odds at Warrnambool, he just seems to step up to the mark on race day.'

Wimbledon live: De Minaur, Vukic, fly Aussie flag, Djoker battles injury
The Aussie Alexes will fly the flag on day four at Wimbledon, as Alex de Minaur and Aleksander Vukic vie for a third-round berth. Novak Djokovic is also in action, as he takes on one of the few men he has losing record against - British wildcard Dan Evans. De Minaur will take on Frenchman Arthur Cazaux, the man who dumped fellow Aussie Adam Walton in five sets, at 8pm (AEST). De Minaur overcame Roberto Carballes Baena in the first round, claiming a straight sets victory to progress. Aleksander Vukic faces the toughest task of all, taking on No.1 seed Jannik Sinner. Meanwhile, Djokovic struggled with stomach issues in his four-set win in the first round against Frenchman Alexandre Muller before recovering strongly, praising 'miracle pills'. He is unlikely to lose sleep over the match-up with the 154th-ranked Briton, who, at 35, is three years younger than him, but he is wary of his opponent's experience on grass and the home support. 'It's a good test for both of us,' said Djokovic. 'I think he's been picking his form up, as well. I think his rankings are not doing him justice at the moment. He deserves to be ranked higher. Defending champion Barbor Krejcikova is in action against Caroline Dolehide, while there's a slew of doubles matches as well.

Sydney to Hobart skipper lists North Sydney home
Sydney to Hobart sailors and yacht owners Andrew and Amber Butler listed their renovated North Sydney family home this week and received interest from 50 buyers on the first day. In between elite racing and Covid the pair transformed a 100-year-old terrace in a quiet precinct of the suburb into a luxury family home with private guest retreat and triple parking. The five-bedroom, three-bathroom home at 4 Neutral St, North Sydney close to cafes, restaurants and the new Metro has a $4.1m guide and goes to auction on August 2. MORE: Disputed Camelot sells at auction Adrian Bridges, of Atlas Lower North Shore, said North Sydney is pumping and feels like the Paddington or Woollahra of the north. 'Within 24 hours of launching the home we had 50 inquiries and I put that down to low stock and a shortage of family homes close to transport, schools and a restaurant scene,' Adrian said. Number 4 Neutral St extends back into Little Alfred St where the Butlers have created a retreat cum gym cum home office above a three-car garage. They landscaped the level garden, created an entertainer's courtyard and installed a dormer window upstairs to match the neighbour's home. 'This area is a hidden sanctuary, accessible to everything yet also a close and amazing community,' Andrew said. Andrew is a retired managing director of an energy company and now full-time dad and keen sailor. He sailed in his first Sydney to Hobart race in 2015, competed in two more in 2022 and 2024 and owns the two-handed yacht Rumchaser. This month he will also take part in the Sydney to Gold Coast ocean race. Amber is also a keen sailor and she and her team are leading the women's winter series out of the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia at Darling Point. The family plans to relocate northside to a home with a pool.
