I'm having a mental block or something as I've never found myself struggling over the correct way to read the splits and points of call before, but I am now. So, I can use someone clearing the block out of my way.

1 1/8 mile race
4 split times
5 points of call

The 4 split times are obviously the half, 3/4, mile, and finish time.

Which of the 5 points of call doesn't correlate with one of the 4 split times? I'm thinking it's the first point of call (position after the 1st quarter?) or is it the stretch call?

In a 1 1/8 mile race the first of the five calls in the PPs is the 1/4 mile.

Thanks, CN.

Here's a points-of-call index (for both fractional times and running positions), sorted by race distance, from the Daily Racing Form site:
