Oh, well. Better luck next time!
A fellow Harlequin breeder had this jr. buck that she had already sold, but she wanted to get a few shows on him before she sent him to his new owner. Harlies are a tough breed, and not many people show them, so I decided to help her out a little. I had a couple of jr. bucks that were showable, so I entered them in a triple show that we both were attending - figuring to give him something to beat. Those three bucks were the only Japanese junior bucks entered at that show, and at the end of the day, each of those boys had placed first once, second once, and third once! One of my boys even got a GC leg out of that show, because the judge also chose him Best Opposite of Variety. As I remember, though, the same doe won Best of Breed under all three judges, so at least there was some uniformity of opinion (hardly surprising, that doe was amazing!)
