Although it happens rarely, I couldn't find a link in Tom's bkgm.com to a reference work related to what you may be seeking. This is an historic controversy. Peter Fankhauser published JF (cubeless) rollouts of all Expert Backgammon (2 ed.) positions and received less than grateful replies from the author. He wanted to publish both the original positions and the rollouts but didn't receive permission, so in the end he published the rollouts without the illustrations of the positions.

There have been subsequent RO's with better bots, but I'm not sure any have made their results so easily accessible as Fankhauser did. However, it seems as though even his results have since vanished into the internet vapor.
