New Zealand trainer Donna Logan has been fined $500 with treatment records for stable star Rising Romance showing the mare had received an alkalising agent too close to the Tramway Stakes.

Rising Romance finished fourth in the Group Two race won by Lucia Valentina and the pair meet again in Saturday's George Main Stakes.

Logan pleaded guilty to negligence in that she failed to instruct her stable representative of the rules regarding alkalising agents.

The Australian rule is that such treatments are not to be given within one clear day of a horse racing.

The records showed Rising Romance received the treatment on the Friday morning before her race on Saturday.

Stewards said the offence was at the low end of the scale.
