Danny Nikolic has started his appeal against a two-year ban from racing. Nikolic was disqualified by Victoria's Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board after being found guilty of threatening the chief steward Terry Bailey at a September race meet. Nikolic is before the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) where he is fighting to have the ban overturned. He lost a bid last month for a stay of proceedings so he could ride in the Spring Carnival. The appeal is set down for two days.Bet
