I can fill you in on northfield.
Mondays the average pool was 80-100 thousand per race..
Fridays and saturdays 40-50 thousand maybe 60,000 per race.

USTA only gives gross 2007 purses paid and record handles (usually in the last century)

I have the average handle for US tracks for 2003 but doubt that would do you any good.
If you want it, I'll send it or post it here.

Canadian tracks list total pools for each race and total handle for the day

They show daily numbers for the past week.

They've been published each year (since 1947) for North American tracks in the USTA's annually published Trotting and Pacing Guide:

If you list the track , day of week , and pool category , I can pretty much tell you.
