That's my theory and I'm sticking to it!
Actually, this is our first time exhibiting at a show. We've only been "on the journey" for a bit over two years. Very few of the koi in our pond are gosanke. We'll bring some of them to the show, too, but have no idea how they'll stack up against the competition.
Just don't want to embarrass ourselves, our club or our show.
