Having Central Districts jockey Jonathan Riddell, 36, who is riding at Riccarton on Saturday, in The Bold One's saddle on Sunday gives Sharrock a sense of satisfaction.
The trainer and Riddell have had 99 starts for 20 wins and 24 placings.
Sharrock, who has 170 horses in work, has registered 134 starts as a trainer in Hastings, with 26 wins and 31 placings.
The Bold One has won two of his three starts, winning the Cavallo Agistment Handicap 1200m sprint on a dead track quite comfortably at Otaki on October 18 to boost his career earnings to $20,685.
The other victory came with the same jockey over 1000m in Bounding Cup at Wellington on April 12.
His fourth was by a short neck at the Group III Cambridge Jockey Club Breeders' Stakes at Te Rapa on April 26.
Although its predominantly sprints now, Sharrock says he is bred to graduate to 2000m races.
He reveals the horse has built " a bit of a reputation".
Sharrock describes the horse as " a spooky animal with natural ability".
Nothing bothers the "very practised" horse who has the propensity to adapt to different styles of races whatever the jockey has mapped for the track.
With rain for the past two days, Sharrock expects the track to come right from barrier 4.
The Bold One, who the Dennis brothers from Southland bred, was passed in at the Karaka Yearling Sale. The brothers hold the lion's share of ownership in a syndicate.
Should the Bay horse continue his rich form, Sharrock hopes to have him starting in a group one race, possibly The Telegraph, the country's premier sprint at the Wellington Carnival in January.
Golan Express also packs decent credentials from barrier one on Sunday after two wins and two second placings, punctuated by a 10th placing here in the feature Group I HB Spring Racing Carnival meeting on October 4.
Bay couple Sue Thompson and Mick Brown train the 6-year-old mare who was second in a 1200m race in Hastings on May 22 before winning the 1000m maiden sprint at Tauherenikau (Wairarapa) on June 2.
The Bay mare, by Golan (Ireland) out of Sweet Express (NZ), then settled for runner-up at a slow 1000m Taupo track on August 20 before the howler in the 1200m Tumu ITM Dash in Hastings in a capacity field of 16.
"Everything that could go wrong went wrong that day," says Thompson, revealing she picked up a calf injury.
In the last outing at Arawa Park (Rotorua), Reese Jones bounced her back to victory by a neck over 1200m on October 18 to take the horse's career earning for Bay owner Peggy Khan to $22,800.
While Golan Express has had a few "missed starts", Thompson says she's fine now and will thrive with less traffic on Sunday.
"In the first start in Hastings she got beaten by a nose by Guy Lowry's horse [La Becane]."
Thompson says Thomas Russell used to ride Golan Express but the jockey is in a spinal unit after an accident a few weeks ago.
Miranda Dravitzki, who has relocated with partner and fellow jockey Shannon Doyle from New Plymouth to Hastings, will be in the saddle on Sunday.
The eight-races programme starts from 1.20pm and ends with the last race at 5.18pm.
