I don't know the specific BRIS definition, but the Sartin definition in route races is racelength-6f. E1 speed is the first 4 furlongs and E2 speed is the next 2. LP is whatever is left. Sartin actually calculates feet/second and BRIS somehow converts this to a 100+ point scale.

I will grant you that the pace figures do not make adjustments for ground loss of weight carried, which is one of my biggest beefs with them.

I was not trying to suggest that you could draw the conclusion just based on his figures that his race wasn't that great, I was merely saying that the reason it was visually impressive is that he was closing against dead horses. As an afterthought, if you compare his late pace figures to other closers in general they don't quite stack up. Perhaps the figure should be higher since he raced wide, but I'm still not impressed.
