Using Bradshaw's matchup, We can slow #6 Stephen second time by one tick and change his final time one tick faster...Then We might get him into the top two in rankings...
Thanks again, Bill

The #6 horse
DOES NOT have a clear advantage at the "second call".
It does, however, have the best second fraction. There is a difference.
When you read the segments screen, you have to read two parts of it in concert with each other.
Let's take F1. It is straight forward, so no further explanation is required.
The second segment DOES NOT represent the "second call", it represents the "second fraction". To understand this, look at "Computerized Beaten Lengths", where it shows the #1 with the advantage at the second call, with the #6 in 4th position at that same point. However, the reason the #6 shows "best" on the segments screen, is because the segment represents the best second fraction horse, not best second call horse. The second segment is clearly labeled "F2" not 2nd call.
Further confirmation of the above is the FPS readout Bill provided. If you read the F1, F2 and SC ratings, this will show the same thing as the information on the "entire" segments screen.
Hope this clears things up for you.
