If it really was White to move, here's what Chessmaster 8000 says:

Time	Depth	Score	Positions	Moves
0:00	4/5	1.45	13606		1. Rxc6+ Kb7 2. Rc4 Ra3+ 3. Kg4
					Ra2 4. h3 Rg2+ 5. Kf5
0:00	5/6	1.45	29112		1. Rxc6+ Kb7 2. Rc4 Ra2 3. h3 Rh2
					4. Kg4 Rg2+ 5. Kf5
0:02	6/7	1.57	94083		1. Rxc6+ Kb7 2. Rc4 Rf1+ 3. Kg4
					Rf2 4. h3 Rf6 5. h5 Rh6
0:05	7/8	1.51	220711		1. Rxc6+ Kb7 2. Rc4 Rh1 3. Kg2
					Re1 4. h5 Re6 5. Kf3 Rh6
0:12	8/9	1.51	525714		1. Rxc6+ Kb7 2. Rc4 Rh1 3. Kg2

					7. Kg7 Re7+ 8. Kg8
1:56	10/11	1.81	4876100		1. Rxc6+ Kb7 2. Rc4 Ra3+ 3. Kg4
					Rd3 4. h5 Rd6 5. h4 Kb6 6. Kg5
					Rd5+ 7. Kg6 Rd6+ 8. Kg7 Rd7+ 9.
					Kg8

However, if it's Black to move:

Time	Depth	Score	Positions	Moves
0:00	3/4	-0.03	4944		1... Kd7 2. Rh7+ Kd6 3. h5 Ra3+

0:01	5/6	-0.03	41464		1... Kd7 2. Rh7+ Kd6 3. Rh6+ Kc7
					4. h5 Ra3+ 5. Ke2 Rxa4 6. Rh7+
					Kd6 7. Rxa7
0:05	6/7	-0.03	178568		1... Kd7 2. Rh7+ Kd6 3. Rh6+ Kc7
					4. Rh7+ Kb6 5. h5 Rxa4 6. Rh8 Kc5
					7. Rb8 Kd4
0:14	7/8	-0.03	497725		1... Kd7 2. Rh7+ Kd6 3. Rh6+ Kc7

					7. Rb8+ Kc7 8. Re8 Kd6
0:36	8/9	-0.09	1304219		1... Kd7 2. Rh7+ Kd6 3. Rh6+ Kc7
