The event is usually attended by the Queen, who this year has decided to skip her trip to the Epsom Derby because she fears it won’t be the same with Covid restrictions in place, reports suggest.
Instead, the monarch, 95, will watch the famous race on television from the comfort of Windsor Castle.
Simon’s outing also comes after he was spotted out for dinner with a portable oxygen tank on Friday.
The music mogul had the medical equipment next to him alongside a packet of cigarettes, after climbing into a waiting car outside Harry’s Bar in London.
The product is often prescribed to patients in the hospital who are in need of lung expansion therapy, with a mouthpiece and goals levels designed to help deeper breath in and open up the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Simon has been using this type of breathing equipment for some time, it’s not been prescribed as part of the rehab from his bike fall.
‘He appreciates the benefits and being a heavy smoker for a number of years it improves his air flow. He’s got no qualms about it whatsoever.’
In August, Simon was rushed to hospital to undergo six hours of surgery after injuring himself in an electric bike accident accident.

But the record executive has been determined to do everything he can to ensure he makes a full recovery, including walking for several hours a day and holding business meetings at 9AM so that he no longer lives like a ‘vampire’.
Of his new fitness regime, a source told MailOnline: ‘Simon said how he hasn’t worn trainers as much as this in 20 years.
‘He feels fitter than ever before and is keeping to a normal routine rather than being on the phone until into the early hours of the morning.’
