Michelle Payne has completed her gruelling concussion recovery test and says she is now mentally exhausted. "I think I went really well and the lady conducting the test said I went well, but I was just spent after it - three and a half hours at 100% concentration really takes it out of you," Michelle told TVN. The popular jockey hasn't ridden since May when she sustained bad injuries in a race fall at Donald. She had four fractured vertebrae, several cracked ribs and severe concussion.
