The Computed Beaten Lengths (CBL) expresses relative velocity as lengths behind the leader at Fraction 1, Second Call and Finish (per the captions). CBL is a representation of energy values in units corresponding to a beaten length value at the appropriate race segment. The whole representation of who owns the best value at any call point has been termed the Dream Race concept in Sartin literature, and can be found in numerous Follow Ups, for various different programs and values being measured.

Hope that helped!
