I believe you are not quite using the term "class" properly (or I have again
misunderstood, which may be much more likely).
In a class there can be only one blue ribbon, one red ribbon, and one white.
In every show I have seen, a cultivar is a class; there can be a blue ribbon
for Vanity, one for Beverly Sills, and one each for any other pink entered.
I suspect that your show is a cultivar one with extras.
The trophies and medal you talk about above are given by the club, and don't
have official AIS status (of course, best specimen is official, and AIS rosettes
can be given for all the mentioned categories)--that doesn't make them less
meaningful to the winner, though.
