From a small stable of Thoroughbred horses in Ontario, Canada, owners Patricia and Vern Fernandes have produced big results while racing their horses at Woodbine and Fort Erie Raceways. At the Fort Erie/HBPA awards ceremony to honor achievements of the 2006 racing year, Vern Fernandes was named Outstanding Trainer of the Year, and his horse Cold War was named Colt or Gelding Distance Horse, as well as overall Horse of the Year. Another horse in the Fernandes stable, Harvest Singing, earned top honors in the category of Filly or Mare Sprinter. Sharing credit for the honors was Brooks Performance Horse Feeds, a KER Team Member. Vern Avery of Brooks has performed nutritional evaluations for this stable, helping the owners choose feed products to support these horses in their training and racing efforts. Kevin van der Wier of Brooks dealer Minor Brothers Farm & Country supplies the stable with Competition Plus and Phase III. (Correction: Vern and Patricia Fernandes, clients of Brooks Performance Horse Feeds, train and race Thoroughbreds, not Standardbreds as written in EquiNews 10, 3 article "KER Feeds the Champions".
