The club had taken the field for brief warmups at 7:57 p.m., 40 minutes late. Meanwhile, several other clubs held meetings and the league took immediate action in cesponse to the strike vote. A New England club spokesman said the Patriots had voted 39-2 with five abstentions to take the strike action. Immediately after the vote was announced, a management representative read the following statemoit to the New England players: the game is not played as scheduled, the players will not be paid, nor can they practice until a collective bargaining agreement is signed or a nostrike pledge is given by the The action came only days after the NFL Players Association announced overwhelming rejection of the latest contract offer.

After trainer Steve DLMuro rested the ailing brown colt during the triple crown campaign, however, Wajima suddenly blossomed with a record-setting victory in the Marylander Stakes at Bowie. Following that with another victory in the $100,000 Monmouth Invitational, Wajima appeared ready to challenge Foolish Pleasure in the $100,000 Travers Stakes.

But the Kentucky Derby winner was withdrawn from that contest and Wajima romped off to an unchallenged IOV4 length victory.
