Dave Brower lived and breathed harness racing in general and Meadowlands harness racing in particular. Brower served as The Meadowlands' morning line oddsmaker, handicapper, and broadcaster for 16 years from 1987 to 2011 until a request for health insurance and benefits was denied and he took a job with the Kings supermarket chain while continuing to do free lance work. He returned to the Meadowlands as a per diem employee in 2017.
