Sharrock says without the help of Saturday's 1600m it is impossible to step his galloping star up to 2040m for the Livamol Classic.
"My chance of being the first to win all three legs of the Hastings Triple Crown has been taken away from me and I was very confident I could do it."
Like many trainers angry over the abandonment, Sharrock pointed at the irrigation put on the Hastings track up until Thursday as the reason for Opie Bosson's mount slipping in the first race and Jonathan Riddell complaining after race three that his horse slipped approaching the home bend, the combination of which led to the abandonment.
"An improper track was presented for racing and that's not our fault, but we are the ones who have to pay the price."
There were suggestions yesterday the Windsor Park was possibly going to be rescheduled to replace the Livamol on October 3 with the Livamol run two weeks later, but Sharrock said he was told by Thoroughbred Classic chairman Matthew Goodson yesterday morning the Livamol will go ahead as scheduled with the Windsor Park replacing the Thompson Hcp at Trentham on October 24.
"Kawi can run in the Windsor Park followed by the Captain Cook Stakes [December 5] and then the Zabeel Classic [December 26}. That will be my triple crown now."
Sharrock is not happy simply to leave it at Kawi not running in the Livamol.
"I will be calling Thoroughbred Racing tomorrow morning and demanding all the entry fees for the Windsor Park and Livamol Classic. It's not our fault he now can't run in those races."
The Taranaki horseman says to run Kawi, jumping from 1400m of his win in the Makfi Challenge to the 2040m would be too detrimental to the horse.
"I'm not going to chop my good horse in half by doing that. I've been in this game too long to be making mistakes like that."
Almost without exception Windsor Park trainers, and many of those with fillies in the $70,000 Gold Trail Stakes, are asking why the groundhog machine was not applied to the track after race three when jockeys agreed to ride for the remainder of the programme if that was done.
Jockeys were in favour of the move and agreed they would continue to ride if the initiative was employed and track staff declared they would do the job in 20 minutes.
Stewards rejected the idea on the basis that if there was an accident serious Occupational Safety and Health issues would arise.
"The jockeys' motivation to continue to ride is because it's a group one raceday and big money is on the line," Neal said. "Our job was to take that out of the equation and base the decision on safety."
Trainers questioned why the Groundhog couldn't be used and why it hadn't been used before the meeting. "There's been no rain so why wasn't it picked up that there was a problem?" Matamata horseman Ken Kelso asked.
"Situations like this are making us the laughing stock of Australasian racing," he said.
Steward Ross Neal said two horses were galloped on the course proper on Saturday morning and the report was "no problems".
The Livamol is also likely to see Saturday's second favourite Turn Me Loose missing. Co-trainer Murray Baker said yesterday that the talented 4-year-old would probably more likely be sent to Melbourne.
"He's owned in Melbourne and it was probably a 50:50 call to run in the Livamol anyway."
Co-trainer Peter Williams said another fancied runner Shuka will probably go ahead and be a Livamol starter. "But that will depend on the Auckland Racing Club allowing us to gallop the horse between races this coming Saturday.
"It's not ideal, because he's had only one 1200m race, but he's a 7-year-old now and we can just up his workload.
"It's a lot more difficult for Allan Sharrock and Kawi because he's got it all before him. My horse has been there and done it."
