Quick Tempo (Tapizar), a debut winner over the Arlington synthetic Aug. 20 and off the board after dueling in the grassy Ontario Racing S. at Woodbine Sept. 19, posted a big figure allowance win at Parx at third asking Oct. 20. He lost little in defeat staying on for second after setting a hot pace in the Nyquist S. on the Breeders' Cup Friday undercard at Keeneland Nov. 6. Favored at 4-5 to post a career high here, the dark bay broke like a rocket from his rail draw, was on the engine through fractions of :21.47 and :44.57, and proved not for catching in the stretch. Quick Tempo becomes the 12th stakes winner for the late Tapizar. The winner's dam had a colt by Constitution in 2019.
