Actually, its much simpler than that.
Over times patterns will or will not appear.
If second time LSX users that have a differnt dosage than first out win with more regularity than second time LSX users without dosage changes than the handicapper with this knowledge has an edge.
And in this sense it's no different than announcing a blinker change. I don't know what kind of blinkers they are putting on a horse or what type they are taking off. Nor do I know exactly what type of blinker the horse might need, but I know when they are making a change it is a piece of information I should consider.
So in this sense I don't need a pharmacy degree. Just the information. Easily providable information that obviously is important enough that the track wants to know it.
Or don't you think they should tell you a horse is receiving LSX at all? Does one have to be a pharmacist to utilize that information? So, if they give you LSX information, why not give you more accurate information.
The larger point is that as the system is set up, trainers and vets can cheat legally, by listing a horse as running on LSX, but not using the amount that it has run well with before, then go back to that dose at a fatter price.
Always, what I want to be aware of at the track is change.
And all I'm asking for is transparency. Which seems like common sense to me.
