She was a long shot, so he's rolling in dough, and he lends Puck the cash to buy Corr.
Luckily, nice brother Finn ended up betting on Puck to win. She wants to help Sean, but she doesn't have enough money to pay off their house and buy Corr. Puck wins the Scorpio Races and all the money that comes with it. Sean intervenes, driving Malvern into the sea, never to be seen again. Knowing Sean has the hots for Puck (they've been smooching ever since Sean went to Puck's for dinner), he gets his scary horse, Skata, to attack Dove. On race day, Mutt Malvern makes his last move. Finally Sean convinces Malvern to sell him Corr if he wins the races one more year. An American stable owner, George Holly, tries to hire Sean, but he won't leave without Corr. No one would sell her a water horse, and she thinks that having a real horse gives her an advantage. Along the way, Puck tries to understand why Gabe is leaving, and she grows closer to her other brother, Finn, who sells his car so they can afford food for Dove (Puck's real horse who she'll be racing). The peeing in the boots part is just gross.Įventually, Sean and Puck team up to train together for the races. Jealous of Sean's success, Mutt tries to sabotage Sean every step of the way-attempting to get him killed, trying to injure his horse, peeing in his boots, etc. Tensions between Sean and the stable owner's son, Mutt, have reached a new high. Meanwhile, Sean Kendrick-now all grown up-is a studly sea-horse whisperer, training his horse, Corr, for the races as he does every year. To make matters worse, her brother Gabe has decided to leave Thisby, and if Puck doesn't win, the family will lose their house. She's the Sally Ride of water horse racing. She has to face a lot of prejudice as a result of being the first female to ever try entering the races. The journey to the races is difficult, and not because Puck is fighting to keep her fingers from being bitten off. Okay, that equals 150%, but you get the point. Puck decides to ride her own horse, Dove, in the race, half because she can't afford to purchase a water horse, half because no one will sell her one, and half because she's scared of them. Puck Connolly, née Kate, has decided to enter the Scorpio Races-an annual event in which all the people who manage to catch and tame a water horse race them. It's like the Galloping Dead, except these horses aren't zombies. The island of Thisby is bustling with activity as the bloodthirsty water horses, known as capaill uisce, emerge from the seas dripping wet and hungry for human flesh. Ed must have been really hungry that day, and they were all out of peanut butter.įlash forward to the present. About nine years ago, little Sean Kendrick watched as a horse ate his dad.
