Use the DRF "Points of Call" chart as reference:

Steve, I pasted this from my the DRF link above.

Stretch Call - 9-14. The horse was ninth, 14 lengths behind the leader at this point. The stretch call is always made one furlong (one-eighth of a mile) from the finish line

The other chart positions changed based on distance but the stretch call is always the same.
