The relationship between Randwick trainers and the Australian Jockey Club (AJC) remains tense amid reports the main stable blocks on the High Street side of the course are to be demolished to make way for apartments and shopping malls.

Trainers are due to meet with AJC chief executive Norman Gillespie on Monday with Racing NSW chief executive Peter V'Landys also attending.

Gillespie is expected to unveil the next stage of the multi million dollar master plan for Randwick which trainers fear will mean their eviction and relocation to lesser facilities on course.

Many trainers are located in High Street opposite the University of NSW including Bart Cummings who has been at Leilani Lodge for more than 30 years.

"They want to pull the stables down and build apartments and car parks," Cummings said.

"We are told they want to bring the demountable stables from Warwick Farm and put them up in Wannsea Road and sell High Street.

"The demountables have no offices or accommodation.

"Racing NSW should intervene to make sure the AJC is there to provide a facility for racing or we will have no businesses to run."

V'Landys said he would attend the meeting as an interested observer. In recent weeks he has been a mediator as the trainers objected to new lease agreements with performance criteria embedded and also issued a notice of no confidence in Richard Freedman, AJC executive director of racing operations.

"I will be there for the presentation of the next stage of the master plan," V'Landys said.

"But I don't know what it contains, I only know what I have heard. I have not seen it."

A year ago, the Randwick training facilities were forced into lockdown for three months because of the equine influenza outbreak.

In May this year, the trainers were relocated, most to Warwick Farm, to accommodate preparations for World Youth Day.

On their return last month, they were presented with the leases which three trainers have so far signed.

Stage One of the redevelopment is well underway at Randwick with new raceday horse stalls and underground drainage part of the initial works.

Cummings' son Anthony is the president of the trainers' association has one of the biggest operations on course.

"We just don't know what is happening," he said.

Randwick's biggest trainer, Gai Waterhouse, rents some accommodation on course but operates mainly out of her privately owned Tulloch Lodge and Bounding Away stables.
