Competition Quotes in The Scorpio Races

We're not sure if Sean races Puck and Dove because he wants the easy ego boost, or if he wants to show Puck how futile it is for her to even try to win.

Sean's competitive nature does have an honorable side. He's not one to relish the easy victory, so he must have challenged Puck to a race for her own good, not for his own glory.

By the halfway point of the novel, Sean is competing for something other than the Scorpio Race purse: he's competing for Corr's freedom, and for his own.
