Your mystery setter, Mr E Guest certainly went for a flutter this week, but avian rather than equine.
No doubt fearful of ruffling a few feathers, he kept well clear of the birds for his links.
I can now reveal that the links were:
Robin RELIANT
Dove TAIL
Duck WEED
Swan LAKE
Did you spot Rodney riding in a yellow three-wheeler?
Did it require a joint effort to join the queue to guess this one?
I hope nobody wee'd themselves with excitement playing this game.
And of course you picked up on the bally (ballet) great expanse of water. Well you did - didn't you?
To find out those who did, read on . . .

Despite Mr E leaving a veritable paper-trail of hints and suggestions, nobody spotted all four pairings and none managed three either.
The first scorer was fordward, who as player number two at 9:01, grabbed the first 2 points for SWAN LAKE. Within two minutes, and thus qualifying for bonus points as well, we had Aquagility, Jools, Dinkypuzzled, evsajo, beejay & jan1956. Later, six players picked up a single point for the same link.
Presumably miss meg is no fool when it comes to betting on the horses. Also clocking in at 9:01, she found ROBIN RELIANT for 2 points. Although 6 further players also chose this pairing, none were quick enough to qualify for bonus points.
Player number 5, still at 9:01 was Jools who, as well as the match already reported, was first to spot DOVE TAIL for another 2 ponts (4 in total). Dinkypuzzled & beejay picked up bonuses on this, giving them a total of 4 points as well. Once again, six later players later picked up a single point for this.
So what about the last pairing? I can reveal that only a single player chose DUCK WEED. It was player number 17 at 9:04 and that was the guardian of our sister game - seekeerz.
So for being unique in spotting that elusive last link, I announce:
****WELL DONE seekeerz****
****HOTSHOT OF THE WEEK****
Eiggam & twix123 should also get a mention for being double hitters amongst the single pointers.
So What about the leaderboard after two weeks of play? See below.

According to the prescribed method, I duly dropped my abacus down the stairs and the beads have ended up in the following positions:
*** CURRENT LEADER is slaney*** who is on 5 points
Right on her heels is a pack of Aquagility, beejay1124, Dinkypuzzled, Jools & miss meg, all on 4 points.
Further back are ten people on 2 points and 14 on 1 point.
There are another two weeks to go in this round so it is still wide open for anyone to take the honours.
See you all again, same time, same place, next weekend.

Sorry about the delay, the site kept rejecting my posts.
