Some advice has come for Starship Hospital on how to handle problematic donations.

The children's hospital has been in hot water this week after rejecting a donation of more than $500,000 from a horse racing win.

Another man's now come forward to say his $10,000 offer from selling a horse was also turned down due to the money's origins.

Their communication has been described as confusing, with a contradictory statement released yesterday saying time constraints were to blame.

Public Relations CEO Deborah Pead told Mike Hosking every cent is vital.

She says Starship should've said yes immediately, subject to due diligence.
