What is the "stretch" position in the form
I hate to say I don't know, but what is the location of the stretch call in the form. Is there a standard distance from the finish or is each track and distance different?
Thanks, Spyder

"Stretch" can vary by distance being run...
Use the DRF "Points of Call" chart as reference: http://www.drf.com/misc/pointsofcall.pdf

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.
