Sean sees a girl on the beach and can't believe it. Sean is sitting on the cliff with Corr and watches her. The girl is training in the ocean which for Sean is a smart move but again not a smart move. A horse gets out of control and runs towards the ocean. Usually the water horses get out of control because they have a target to attack, and tis case the target is the girl on the horse.

Puck and Finn are at miss Dory Maude's antique shop to drop off handmade pots (made by Puck). Dory Maude talks to them for a while about how they're going to ship their antiques to the mainland along with Puck's pots and so Puck gets very excited. But since Puck is in the races she needs to train Dove on the beach (since its the rules). But again things don't go as planned.

Sean is in a pen with Corr, but since Corr is a water horse he gets a special pen so he won't be able to escape and eat anyone. Sean is leading him in circles while an american is watching enthusiastically. The american's name is Holly and Holly talks to Sean about how long he's been in the races for, how many times he's won, and how long did it take him to train Corr to gallop in a straight line.

Now that Puck is signed up for the races, she needs a horse. The next day she goes to the beach to get an Capail usise. When she gets there no one wants to sell her one because she's a girl. Finally when someone agrees to sell her a horse things don't go well. When she tries to get on the hose the horse attacks and eats a nearby dog and from that moment on she decides to ride Dove instead of a Capaill uisce.

That same night that Puck signed up for the Scorpio Races she saw Sean Kendrick (1st place winner in last Scorpio Races). Saw him with a man who wanted to beat him up but, Sean was calm. Apparently that man was Mutt one of the island's richest people/men. Mutt wanted Sean's Capaill uisce, Corr, one of the fastest water horses and obviously 1st place winner horse. Since Mutt is his boss he thinks he could take Corr.

Puck has officially decided to ride in the Scorpio Races but not with a Capaill Uisce (a dangerous water horse that eats meat) but with her own horse Dove. I think this is a bad idea because dove is a regular horse and if it runs against a water horse, the water horses could kill Dove and Puck. (I mean she should ride, just not with Dove)
