To me I think Hoge pics steers the way they are supposed to, and I think he is great with the kids in the ring. I think he has done an amazing job sorting these classes, and explaining it so that the kids and spectators both know exactly why they placed where they placed. Sure he wants one with some style and integrity, but above all he is gonna pic the one that he thinks is gonna hang the best carcass, and I think Kati Robertsons AOB proved that. I definately think it comes down to him and Char. I havent been there in person, but watching online, for me I think the edge goes to the Char, he seems to have as much mass and carcass as the AOB in a slightly prettier package, but I dont think you can go wrong with either of them.
