HAZEL PARK, MI—SEPTEMBER 1, 2017— Toughdashingangel raced to his second stakes win at Hazel Park on Friday night when he defeated Takin On Cartel by three-quarters in the $22,500 Hazel Park Futurity 2.

Ridden by jockey Natasha Fritz, Toughdashingangel completed the 300 yards in :16.092 seconds into a 3 mph crosswind. It was the third win four starts for the Michigan-bred colt and the $13,500 winners' purse doubled his career mark to $27,845.
