Oh piss. If I'd only spent 13 seconds actually thinking. I blame the Christmas Day day drinking

And Merry Christmas to you too!
Please take the reins of the sleigh.
Only if you pull the crackers!
A bit too much thinking (or booze)!

Thank you.
Which song, a UK hit in 1969, is about a racehorse which died during a race at Caymanas Park, Kingston, Jamaica?
Long Shot kick de bucket.
Also was on the b-side as a live cover of The Specials 'Too Much too Young' EP that reached No.1.

The first two are correct, but could you expand on the third (which is correct as far as it goes).

This doesn’t seem to have hit the right note. So a few details: there is still one country that hasn’t been mentioned and one university in a country that has been mentioned that hasn’t been touched either.

The last is correct, being the remaining country.
No. There is a Lincoln Christian University and a Lincoln College in Lincoln, Illinois, and a University of Nebraska-Lincoln in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Still a few bits to fill in, but I will give the answers at midnight.

Manchester University is in Indiana and York University in Toronto. There are Lincoln Universities in California (a private one), Missouri and Pennsylvania in the USA, and near Christchurch in New Zealand.
It looks as though LSWR Cavalier did best, so over to you, sir.
