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.

For the Lead....
Your comments and your time are always respected and duly noted....
My comments about the second call was an error in semantics in using the correct terminology in Sartin readouts....Thanks for the correction...
My opinion about the adjustments still stand as I had put forth...
Sometimes, it is the jockey who made a hasty bold move too early in the race to catch up into contention....
Sometimes, the bold second turn move was directed by the trainer....as a conditioning move....
In today's matchup...the horse who previously made the bold second turn move will not have to and hence have a more efficient run in today's matchup...
Many thanks for all of your input...
