Bartley brought up her 100^th win as a trainer as Girls Got Courage scored in her first run for the Coleambally trainer at Riverina Paceway on Friday.

In just her fifth season as a trainer, Bartley was pleased to bring up the special win.

"It was good to get it over and done with really quickly," Bartley said.

"I was worried I wouldn't train a winner for three weeks so it was good."

Girls Got Courage was able to utilise barrier one to take out the first heat of the HRNSW Rewards Series.

From there she went on down Balltime Ball and win by 5.8 metres.

Bartley was pleased with her efforts.

"I was really happy with her," she said.

"I was a bit worried she might a little lost in front but she did it very professionally.

"She pulled up really good too."

Partner Blake Jones took the drive.

Jones went close to delivering Bartley a training double with Blazin Cracker run down in the final strides later in the card.

Bartley was still pleased with his efforts after losing to Nobbys Clock by just a half head.

"It is so annoying as he got home in 27.7, which is flying, and he still gets beat but I'm really happy with him," she said.

She also combined with Young trainer Rick Burnett to score her 98^th win as a driver.

Bartley finished over the top of her rivals as the Uroc Baby scored her first win at start 33.

"I think I've got a pretty good record on Rick's horses," she said.

"She has been knocking on the door to win one but just needed to get the right run.

"She did a little work out of the gate but she found the line quite strong."

Bartley is now one win behind Junee trainer-driver Bruce Harpley, who didn't have a runner on Friday, in the premiership race.

She is hoping power in numbers will help her quest at the region's next meeting at Leeton on Tuesday.

Bartley has five runners engaged over the eight races while Harpley has just the two.

Meanwhile Victorian visitor Madame Annie put in the performance of the meeting, taking out the Reigning Pepper Breeders Challenge Ladyship Pace (1740m) by 31.7 metres in a mile rate of 1:55.1 for trainer Robert Walters.
