Although it is probably not the best example as 'heaps' will be going through:
Take the Vicbred Super Series heats for the 2yo's at Bendigo tonight. The Form Guide always provides more info than the Fields page in regards to Conditions etc and the following snip shows you there is plenty of info on offer tonight BUT where does it spell out how many go through to the semi's? - info that punters are entitled to know.

I know the Breno's of this world would probably work it out ie 4 Fillies heats so with 2 semis of as many as 12 = 24, so the first 6 of each heat might be good enough

Yes, I know 'horses are trying to win every time they go around' but for series, it needs to be spelt out clearly whether they MUST win to advance. Punters are entitled to see this in bold print
Pre-empted my response Kev, I am in the camp of punters doing their own research.

One thing I would campaign for though is each horses individual 200m sectionals at all tracks being available on harness.org
