"First call" to me is defined as 2f in a sprint, 4f in a route. In other words, the standard for pace calls in pace handicapping for the last 2 decades.

So my math is wrong already. I was interpreting it as well for 1 horse being 1st at the first call. This might make things abit more interesting being you're considering multiple horses within a length at the first call.
Hummm.....
