I could see many applications of this information;

Faulty favorites might show up outside the limits you studied here.

Also, really competitive races might show up with 4-5 or 6 horses less than 3.5 or 3.8 and point to too many closely matched horses. Based on other RDSS criteria you might want to eliminate one or more of those horses. So decide on what price you would accept (Spread the bet a little) or pass if too many qualify.

Or on the other hand two low VDC horses with separation from the rest may be an interesting bet. For instance, the BC classic won by Flightline and the second place horse, Olympiad had VDC of 0.0 and 0.1 respectively, with all the other horses having a VDC% of 2.3 to 4.0. Just one example I know, but some research might tell you what you need to know in these instances.

I am sure there are other applications for interested parties to research.
