I give mine in the morning and usually again at night on race day because mine gets them so bad. I'd say morning is probably better for dosing once a day

What I would suggest looking into is giving milk of magnesia or something along the same lines 20 min before a run.

The lectures I have attended have been saying this is the better route to prevent ulcers.

generic liquid antacid for humans with magnesium (maalox) works to coat the stomach, won't prevent or heal them. Just neutralizes the pain. Its how many vets recommend testing if you don't want to spend hundreds getting them scoped. I give 30cc about 2 hours before and another 20cc 20 minutes if I don't have omeprazole on hand. Mine spits half of it out which is why I give him an extra dose.

You are wasting money as a pre-race fix. Omeprazole takes a few days to work. So if you're not giving it daily, it's pointless to give a boost before a show.

Things like ranitidine work a lot faster for temporary relief.

I learned this from a GI focused vet. But here's an article to back me up. https://depaoloequineconcepts.wordpress.com/2012/05/29/equine-ulcers...
