Scott brought up his first win after combining with Blissfull Donna at Riverina Paceway on Monday.

The mare went close to providing Scott with victory on his first night in the gig, but just held on to deliver the special moment a month later.

Scott was thrilled with the result.

"It got a bit close towards the end there and I thought Todd (Day) almost had me on the line until I came back and I found out I won," Scott said.

"It was definitely a great moment and I will remember for a fair while."

Moving to the lead from a wide alley, Scott was able to dictate terms with a moderate tempo before holding off a fast-finishing Artistic Trouble ($18) with the $6 chance holding on to win by a head.

Scott's mother Hellen trains the mare and with father John cheering the pair on the 20-year-old was pleased to bring up his first win.

"I came second on this horse on my first night, and probably should have won, and had a second the other week but wining is even better," Scott said.

Meanwhile Jackson Painting extended his hot run of form.

For the fourth time in the last five meetings, Painting scored a double with both Mammals Prince and Notorious Joe tasting success.

Mammals Prince bounced back from a disappointing last time out, but had to do so in the stewards room.

Painting successfully protested against David Druitt after Sun Safe was found to have shifted out and locked wheels.

With a head the final margin, Painting admitted it was one of the easiest protests he had been a part of .

"It was pretty straight forward," Painting said.

"Davey wasn't too much to blame and said he was trying to keep his out of the sprint lane and doing so it ran up the track and locked wheels with me."

However he was pleased to bring up the win with Mammals Prince after struggling in front last time out.

"I didn't want to lead on him last start as he chases a lot better at home, but when we drew one I thought we would hold up and see how we go," Painting said.

"He's not a leader so we figured out tonight we wouldn't go forward, dropped in and he chased a lot better.

"He's only three and is a bit green and still learning what to do but doesn't travel up on the bit like he does when he is in following a horse."

Notorious Joe then produced the goods first up for the David Kennedy stable.

Coming off three unplaced efforts in Victoria the $1.35 favourite led all the way.

It added to Painting's good recent record with two wins from his only two drives in the past three days.

All have been for Kennedy.

Painting credited cutting back the team for their strike rate.

"We've thinned a few of the ones out who just weren't up to the mark," he said.

"We are trying to focus on working around 10 to 12 horses who are well graded and are going to be competitive as there is no room to be hiding horses at this track at Wagga.

"They just have to be up to the mark .

"On half mile tracks you could hide them away a little bit, and they could hit the line, but on the 1000 metre track they just get found out and you have to move those horses on."
