Hope N A Prayer and Liam Sykes rose to the top in a competitive Rookie Professional group to bring home the highpoint title with their Sunday score of 71.
“She was really good today; I think she did just as good today as she did the rest of this week, even though I had one overspin penalty. That was my fault,” Sykes said. “After this she’s probably going to get a vacation for a little bit.”
Hope N A Prayer is sired by Whizkey N Diamonds and out of The Love Bud. The mare was bred by Camela Essick and is owned by Teddy and Summer Gerald.
“I want to thank Teddy and Summer again, the owners of the horse. They’ve been so supportive of me since I came and started working with Trent. I also want to thank Trent and his wife Mercedes, they’ve done a whole lot for me helping me get here,” Sykes said.
