Well damn katy, I don't wanna play the chalk even though it's probably blue so i'll go with cream.....

There are plenty of people 'in the know' for this, and the chalk/fav is usually correct, not always though.

Queen's hat creams bookies
From Dave Thompson at Ascot

June 22, 2007 BOOKMAKER William Hill has been caught out for the second time in three years over the colour of the hat worn by the Queen on Ladies' Day at Royal Ascot.

The Queen is traditionally driven down the course in a carriage before the start of racing, at the head of a colourful horse-draw procession, and much interest centres on her outfit, including the hat.

It was predominantly cream overnight, which was 5-1 in the betting. That will cost William Hill well over £10,000 23,500), following a £20,000 ($47,000) pay-out two years ago when she wore brown.

Hill's spokeswoman Jennie Prest said: "The biggest bet we laid on cream was £150 ($353,000) at 5-1, and we had dozens of requests at smaller stakes and a number of new customers opening new accounts, specifically to have this bet."

Betting has already opened for Ladies Day 2008 with blue the 3-1 favourite, followed by yellow at 5-1 with a repetition of cream rated a 7-1 chance.
