No threat to ruin Nikolic’s career: Bailey

Racing Victoria chief steward Terry Bailey denies threatening to ruin jockey Danny Nikolic’s career.

Nikolic was outed for two years for threatening Bailey at a September 2012 race meeting before copping a further penalty for offensive conduct towards another steward.

Nikolic has told his appeal to regain his jockey licence that Bailey threatened to destroy his career and was corrupt and dishonest.

Bailey on Friday said he had never told Nikolic he was going to ruin his career.
