Violette Drops Back Violette is set to drop down to six furlongs for her next race after finding a mile on soft ground too much in the German 1000 guineas.Trainer Sir Mark Prescott is now targeting the Group Three Ballyogan Stakes at Leopardstown on June 7.Even so, the Newmarket handler was not disappointed with her sixth place behind Lolita in the Group Two German Classic at Dusseldorf.'She got stuck in the mud in Germany but she ran awfully well and is due to start work again this week. I think a mile just stretches her,' Prescott told At The Races. Last season, Violette was only beaten a neck by subsequent 1000 Guineas winner Speciosa in the Group Two Rockfel Stakes over seven furlongs at Newmarket.? PA Sport
