THE inaugural Nat Bell Memorial Buckle stayed in the south-west after Heywood’s Morgan McLean topped the times in the Junior Barrel Race, the event Nat competed in each year, at the Branxholme Rodeo on Saturday.

It wasn’t the only win of the night for the 17-year-old, who doubled up to win the Ladies Barrel Race, but winning the first buckle in honour of her friend tops the highlights of her career to date.
