One of the heart valves had closed in and the doctors said that\u2019s dangerous at 40 per cent \u2013 and I was at 80 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey say God only takes the best \u2013 so I knew I was in with a chance to get through! But it was pretty scary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Payne underwent open heart surgery for a new heart valve \u2013 and said his health and wellbeing in his recovery has been amazing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told the surgeon I\u2019ve always been able to work 20 hours a day, no trouble. He told me that after the surgery I\u2019d be able to do 22\u2026and he\u2019s pretty right,\u201d Payne said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt took me a couple of weeks to get active but once I got going, I was walking between 10 and 20 kilometres a day, twice a day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t wait to get back to work.\u00a0They thought it\u2019d be three months before I could, but I felt great in two months, and they gave me the all-clear.\u00a0 I\u2019m just on ultrasounds every 12 months now, to keep an eye on things.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI honestly haven\u2019t felt this good since my 20s and 30s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Payne certainly hasn\u2019t lost his touch.<\/p>\n<p>He drove Queen Of Quebec a treat, restraining to the rear from a wide barrier six draw, then making a three-wide run on the back of Valerie Lane in the latter stages, before pulling off her back and running strongly to the line to score by three metres.<\/p>\n<p>Payne shared a fist-bump with \u201cthe boss\u201d Svanosio, who was driving the stablemate Aldebaran Demi, as the pair eased up after the finish of the race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt felt pretty good \u2013 good to get back to work and good to get back driving, which I love,\u201d Payne said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven better to get a winner.\u00a0We had a bit of luck, but the mare just trotted super and did it easy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TERRY GANGE (HARNESSLINK) &nbsp; Workhorse Victorian harness racing reinsman Ross Payne reckons he\u2019s the best he\u2019s felt in 30 years after a brush with death two months ago.
