Exactly, Steve. That truly was a damned if you do/don't situation for Rose there. He was only going to get a 24 opener with no pressure. He didn't get it easy so his choice then was to let her go a bit or fight her and take everything else out of her.
She ran well and still finished a decent third. If Rose puts his feet on the dashboard and fights her, she beats only the 99-1 shot, IMO.
