Blue Devil Racing Stable's Celtic Dawn (Honest Mischief), who was vanned off after winning Saratoga's sixth race Wednesday afternoon, underwent surgery to repair a fracture to her left front pastern at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in Saratoga Thursday morning.

“Celtic Dawn was treated at Rood & Riddle in Saratoga and the surgery to stabilize an incomplete fracture of her pastern this morning went well,” said Blue Devil's Marc Holliday. “She is expected to make a full recovery.”

Trained by Carlos Martin, the New York bred homebred won the 5 1/2-furlong statebred test for 2-year-olds by three lengths. Taken off the turf because of rain, the track was officially listed as sloppy.
