1949 Timeform Apr. 8 Put as simply as possible, the Timeform Rating of a horse is the number of pounds which, in our opinion, that horse would be entitled to receive in an average Free Handicap. Thus, a horse which we regard as worth 9 st. 7 lb. in an average Free Handicap, i.e., 133 lb., would receive a rating of 133... Some of these ratings are arrived at on a ‘time’ basis, and some of them on a ‘form’ basis, according to the evidence available.

1978 Jrnl. Royal Soc. Med. 71 660 The horses of both groups which raced were assessed using the Timeform system.

1988 Nature 21 Apr. 678/1 A Timeform rating is supposedly based only on the horse's own performance.
