Columbus, OH – Tyler Angus, 22, a native of Macedonia, Ohio, will be presented with the Peter Haughton Memorial Award Award by the members of the Ohio Chapter of the United State Harness Writers Association. The award is presented to a young Ohioan who is an “up-and-coming” star among harness horsemen.
Angus secured his first career win at the Mahoning County Fair at Canfield on August 24, 2020 in a Signature Series event with Ruffy’s Desire in 1:57.3.
This year, Tyler has amassed 85 wins and nearly $800,000 in earnings.
He ranks in the top-10 in the tough driver’s colony at MGM Northfield Park against such stalwarts as Aaron Merriman, Ronnie Wrenn, Jr., Kurt Sugg, Billy Davis, Jr. and Hunter Myers to name a few.
Angus is the son of Megan and Ryan Angus and is a third-generation horseman.
Angus will receive his award at the Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association banquet on Saturday (Jan. 18), at the Marriott Columbus Airport.
