    Music mogul and former X Factor judge Simon Cowell has become a racehorse owner.

    Simon, famed for his straight talking assessments on reality talent shows, has invested in a two-year-old thoroughbred.

    And the co-owners are none other than fellow prime-time TV presenters Ant and Dec.

    The trio are now the proud owners of the colt who is in training with James Fanshawe in Newmarket.

    The horse, which is reportedly called It’s A Yes From Me, was bought 35,000 guineas as a foal at the Tattersalls Sales.

    He is by Bahamian Bounty, who is also the sire of Switcharooney — owned by England footballer Wayne Rooney.

    With a name like that, I expect to see it in a seller at Bath before the end of the season.

    If only it could be in a race which also includes a horse called "It's a Yes" and another called "Me".

    They're inside the final furlong and it's It's a Yes from Me on the inside and It's a Yes from Me on the outside

    Who is Simon Cowell?

    (I know really, I'm just showing my disdain for the man)

    Some owners geld their horses, others feel a wind op will improve performance but in keeping with his other purchases the first thing Simon did was extract it's soul. My bets are on the horse having a very short career performing in front of people who know nothing of horse racing and then be seen opening a supermarket come October.

    which one did you say was riding it Ant or Dec ?

    Actually Joe it would just about be his luck that his first foray into horse racing produced a classic winner for 35,000 guineas. What I will say is that in my opinion he has selected a very good trainer to send it to, I really like James Fanshawe.
