Danny Nikolic has been asked to front Racing Victoria stewards on Friday week for the continued inquiry into 10 of his rides after he refused a request to meet them before Wednesday's Sandown meeting.

Nikolic was incensed that chief steward Terry Bailey contacted his father and manager John Nikolic on Tuesday while they were attending the funeral of the jockey's maternal grandfather Geoff Light.

Nikolic is frustrated that the inquiry has been hanging over his head for three-and-a-half months and said he didn't want to be at the stewards' beck and call before the first race and after the last at race meetings.

"They've had three-and-a-half months now to put a decent charge on me and it's just gone on and on and on," Nikolic said.

"It's stopped me from going to the Sydney carnival, it's stopped me from picking up a decent ride.

"I've lost a lot of the support of leading stables I was riding for - Danny O'Brien, Greg Eurell, David Hayes - and I understand they have a duty to protect their owners."

The investigation began when Nikolic was beaten into second place aboard $1.60 favourite Finishing Card in a maiden at Mornington on January 8.

On Tuesday the inquiry continued when stewards interviewed two of Nikolic's associates, owner John O'Neill and form analyst Mark Hunter, regarding their betting activities having earlier acquired their phone and betting records.

Nikolic said at Sandown on Wednesday that he had sought a meeting through the Australian Jockeys' Association with new Racing Integrity Commissioner Sal Perna to air his grievances regarding the drawn out investigation.

"He (Perna) doesn't wish to see me until after the inquiry is finished," Nikolic said.

"But that's no good because I want his advice on something that is playing on my mind.

"I also asked to see (RVL chairman) Michael Duffy but there has been no response from him as yet."

Nikolic was fined $5000 for refusing to hand over his mobile phone to stewards so that they could check his contacts.

He still faces a charge of using his mobile phone without stewards' permission in the public area at Flemington on New Year's Day before winning the Bagot Handicap on Atlantic Air.

Nikolic maintains his innocence over the 10 rides in question but says he is being held to ransom by stewards.

Family friend Neville Clements, a professional punter and commission agent, has been warned off for failing to produce his phone records to stewards.
