I heard Alan Foreman say on the ATR tonight that Rose will "do whatever is right," or something to that effect. What does that actually mean anyway?

Unless he went to whip, the horse bucked or bolted or something mid-swing, and he completely misfired due to that, it's almost impossible to miss your target by 5 feet (not to mention in FRONT of your body versus behind.) It was a bad decision in the heat of the moment, and will haunt him for the rest of his life. I feel bad for both horse and rider.
