An alternative to Derby could be Ascot, as it's a flat cap, as well as the flat meeting with all the hats of various shapes. I think Derby is a slightly better answer, though.

Any ideas for the question that follows the Flat hat one? Another sports answer: "Can't solve this one!" (7).

The only suggestion I have for "Can't solve this one" is "snooker", but I am not convinced as it is possible to escape (= solve) a snooker.

That was my thought too - like the race card answer, I felt there could be something better, but nothing has bubbled up. As an aside, I guess people know the setter, John Graham, is Araucaria's brother?

I have snooker too and can't think of any other answer
