I observed Stokes wallop the hell out of that horse and it took me back also. It goes on all the time during races, however. I see some horses hind quarters swerve sideways because they have been whacked so hard. Racing can appear to be pretty brutal sometimes. Maybe Stokes is frustrated, because he doesn't appear to be as good as he was before he injured himself. I still personally like betting this "dump" because I like big prices.
