On the topic of
V/DC:
I encourage people to make their
own decisions about the usefulness of V/DC as a factor. Spec160 does not include V/DC. Validator did include V/DC (obviously) but uses a beaten length and projection formula which (IMO) has been improved upon in Spec160. Thus you cannot say what V/DC would look like if only it were in Spec160 (which it isn't) - unless you use RDSS where there is both V/DC and the Spec160 improvements.
V/DC has been found to rank winners a very high percentage of the time in the Top 2 and ties across all distances, surfaces and tracks.
For that matter, so does Total Energy, but go to Top 3. I prefer it over Beyer Speed Figures
Slightly
off-topic: I agree, Energy was a good program!
