Gulfstream Park horses to watch: Week of Jan. 11

Stately Defence
Trainer: David Fawkes
Last race: Jan. 2, 2nd
Finish: 3rd by 2
Beyer: 76
Shifting back to dirt from turf, this miss dueled early, took the lead, and just tired late to lose by two lengths to the talented Penwith. It was a rock-solid performance against first-level allowance horses.

Kitty Wine
Trainer: Eddie Kenneally
Last race: Jan. 3, 5th
Finish: 4th by 2
Beyer: 79
Making her first start in more than a year, she figured to need a race but ran quite respectably to be fourth, beaten two lengths. She only tired in the final furlong and should benefit from that comeback start.

Legend
Trainer: James Bond
Last race: Jan. 4, 8th
Finish: 4th by 4 1/4
Beyer: 65
He ran well at first asking, surging from fourth to take the lead coming into the stretch, only to fade in the final quarter-mile. Likely to be stronger in his second start and bred to go two turns.
