"The Tailteann Cup is a great competition and did a lot for teams like Westmeath last year, Cavan and so many other teams. I didn’t find it in any way insulting I thought it was a reflection of him rather than anything else," insisted O'Rourke. “The gentleman involved I wouldn’t pass the slightest remarks about what he would say about anything. Some people have been rather disparaging in their remarks about the Tailteann Cup and O'Rourke was dismissive of Donal Og Cusack's opinion that the competition was "a sort of Gaelic football Grand National for disappointed also rans" Reaction to a defeat that always tells something about the individuals and players as a group, so I have to say I am very satisfied with their reaction." "I am quite happy and more impressed with what we saw in the last three weeks since I got involved with the team. “We will be even better by the time of the Down match than we were tonight and we might even have a couple of players back from injury. Again we will be going for a strong team down there we won’t be doing anything silly. "Jack O’Connor came off with an injury, Ciaran Caulfield has a hamstring problem, Eoghan Frayne has a shoulder problem, we would love to get some game time into players like that, hopefully we will in the next few games. We will give Waterford total respect and put out the best possible team and we will be looking to win the match and move on," admitted O'Rourke before giving a rundown on the injury situation. “Never was in the place (Fraher Field, Waterford's home venue) before, we are looking forward to it already. O'Rourke is not going to take Waterford for granted next Saturday, but he knows the final game of the group against Down will be a massive test and he is sure Meath will continue to improve. With the losing streak broken Meath can look forward to the rest of the Tailteann Cup with plenty of ambition and confidence.

"Jack had a few exams this week, so had Cathal Hickey and Conor Gray had one this morning so we were trying to juggle around with lads who had exams this week and next so that none of them got a full game." I’m sure it is the same with lads from other counties, a lot of lads doing exams, I can recall when I was doing third level exams they drain your energy. "Jack Flynn had injury problems with his ankle and he has also been doing exams. It is going to take months and years rather than weeks but we will get there." “We have pace in our team and have skill, we are just lacking a little bit in some other areas but when you have such a willing group of young players I think the road can take us a long way. I think six made their championship debuts against Offaly and three more played their first championship game tonight, so they are a young team and if people are patient with them we have a big future. "We are playing the long game here, we are very patient with these fellas. "I’m delighted with the commitment, they are a great bunch and I don’t think any other Meath team I’ve been involved in had any more commitment.
“It could have been a huge blow after losing to Offaly but the following Wednesday night every single player on the panel was there, everyone was willing to get stuck into the competition there was no such thing as anyone opting out or saying we don’t think this is worth taking part in. It’s February since we won a game and we have had a lot of serious setbacks since that but in fairness to the lads they have been great, they have work hard every night of the week that we have asked them. Medina Spirit was Baffert’s most recent Preakness horse, finishing third.“Very happy to get that win. National Treasure did not run in the Derby at Churchill Downs, where Baffert has been barred the past two years because of a suspension stemming from 2021 Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit’s failed drug test that led to a disqualification in that race. It also put the sport squarely back in a familiar spot, two weeks after seven horses died in a 10-day span at Churchill Downs leading up to the Derby.
“When he got hurt, it’s just the most sickening feeling a trainer can have,” Baffert said. But the joy was tempered by the agony of another 3-year-old colt, Havnameltdown, injuring his left front leg in an undercard race and being put down. National Treasure won the Preakness on Saturday in Baffert’s return to the Triple Crown trail following a suspension, ending Kentucky Derby champion Mage’s Triple Crown bid in the race Baffert has now captured more than any other trainer.
