THE latest case against beleaguered Danny Nikolic will collapse if the appeals board decides it has no authority over the disqualified jockey.
MATT STEWART reports in the HERALD SUN that Thursday's Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board hearing into two misconduct charges against Nikolic was adjourned to a date to be fixed, with the board pondering whether Nikolic is bound by the rules of racing.
The latest charges against Nikolic stem from a VCAT hearing last November, during which Nikolic called steward Wade Hadley a “disgrace” and made a threatening gesture towards Hadley.
Nikolic is currently serving a one-year disqualification and a one-year suspension for threatening chief steward Terry Bailey.
