A remarkable horse and a talented player, not to be confused with Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, but rather the equine athlete sharing his name.

Now, his expanding influence is resonating across other sports as owners hope to imbue some of his cool, composed nature into their athletes.
Introducing Cool Palmer, the four-year-old gelding under the training of Fergal O’Brien.
Seemingly named in honor of the Chelsea player, Cool Palmer could be one to watch for Chelsea supporters in the coming times.
He was backed into 9-2 before making his debut at Southwell in a bumper on Monday.
After pulling strongly, he attempted to surge two furlongs from the finish but ultimately faded as he approached the line.
Nevertheless, his third-place finish on debut was commendable, signaling significant potential for owner Sullivan Bloodstock Limited.
They might want to reconsider his colors moving forward, as the owner’s silks are in two shades of red reminiscent of Manchester United.
Trainer O’Brien expressed satisfaction with his performance, stating on X: “Despite signs of inexperience, Cool Palmer had a gratifying debut with a third-place finish.”
‘I’m getting emotional’ – Comments from England manager Thomas Tuchel about Cole Palmer leave Chelsea fans nearly in tears
Brothers Dan and Harry Skelton secured victory with their 2-1 favorite In The Age, while the 17-2 North Of Richmond took second place under trainer Alex Hales and jockey Kielan Woods.
Palmer has propelled Chelsea to second place in the Premier League, just trailing behind leaders Liverpool.
Securing a trademark for his celebration could potentially be a financial boon for him.
Palmer, who performed admirably for England in Euro 2024, first displayed this celebration last December during Chelsea’s 3-2 win over Luton Town.
The idea for the celebration came from former Manchester City academy teammate Morgan Rogers, who executed it after scoring for Middlesbrough.
