PHARMACISTS are highly skilled health professionals, and their knowledge extends beyond humans.
That deep understanding of healthcare has proven invaluable for US-based pharmacist/racehorse owner, Chris Pallas.
With his horse, Shifty She, among the favourites for this weekend's Pegasus World Cup Filly and Mare race, his professional insight has been cited as a factor in getting the nag back on track after a tendon injury, which kept her out of action for close to 12 months.
"It's an advantage to understand veterinarians, how our horses get treated, how our horses get therapy... I understand it perfectly well," Pallas told 7 News Miami.
With big money on the line for the winner at Florida's Gulf Stream racecourse, Pallas said he is confident that Shifty She has what it takes to see off her rivals.
"She's just all business," he said.
Shifty She is among the favourites in the 11-horse field behind Sweet Melania and Regal Glory.
