Greyhound trainer handed lifetime ban for 'egregious' actions
SA greyhound trainer Jack Clayton Trengove has been found "entirely unfit" to participate in the industry, with the state's governing body issuing him with a lifetime disqualification and a $5,000 fine.
South Australian greyhound trainer Jack Trengove received a lifetime ban and a $5,000 fine for transferring an injured greyhound dishonestly. Trengove, from a well-known racing family, had already been suspended for prior animal welfare violations. The governing body, Greyhound Racing SA (GRSA), found Trengove guilty of transferring an injured dog named Arctic Girl to another trainer without revealing her untreated hock fracture.
GRSA concluded that Trengove's actions were so egregious that they contradicted the values and welfare standards of greyhound racing in South Australia. Arctic Girl, who did not suffer any catastrophic injury, was rescued and rehomed by GRSA officers. Trengove was suspended since June 2025 after charges relating to previous animal welfare rule breaches.
The panel noted several other racing-related infractions Trengove had accumulated in 2024, including failing to present a greyhound for veterinary examination, striking a greyhound, and not maintaining a treatment record book. In response to the outcome, Trengove claimed he was not given a fair hearing.
