Currently, his expanding influence has impacted various sports as team owners strive to instill some of his cool, composed character into their athletes.
Introducing Cool Palmer, the four-year-old gelding trained by Fergal O’Brien.
Seemingly named after the Chelsea star, Cool Palmer could be one to watch for Chelsea fans in the future.
He was backed into 9-2 before his debut in a bumper at Southwell on Monday.
Pulling strongly, he made his move two furlongs from the finish but ultimately ran out of steam as the finish line neared.
Regardless, finishing third in his first outing was impressive, indicating significant potential for owner Sullivan Bloodstock Limited.
They might want to reconsider his silks, though, as the owner’s colors are two shades of red, resembling Manchester United’s.
Trainer O’Brien was pleased with his performance, stating on X: “Despite showing signs of inexperience, Cool Palmer delivered a satisfying debut with a third-place finish.”
‘I’m getting emotional’ – England manager Thomas Tuchel’s comments on Cole Palmer leave Chelsea fans nearly in tears
Brothers Dan and Harry Skelton secured victory with their 2-1 favorite In The Age, while 17-2 North Of Richmond claimed second place under trainer Alex Hales and jockey Kielan Woods.
Palmer has propelled Chelsea to second place in the Premier League, trailing only behind Liverpool.
Trademarking his celebration could potentially earn him millions.
Palmer, who also shined for England in Euro 2024, first showcased this celebration last December during Chelsea’s 3-2 win against Luton Town.
The move was inspired by former Manchester City academy teammate Morgan Rogers, who performed it after scoring for Middlesbrough.
