As stated by others, Equibase historical charts have the info, except that WPS amounts are lumped together, so no separate place and show pool info. Some years ago a friend of mine did a study, and came up with using the following rough estimates:
Win Pool --> 65% of total WPS pool.
Place Pool --> 25% of total WPS pool.
Show Pool --> 10% of total WPS pool.
I have no idea how relevant these percentages are today.
I know the ADW Xpressbet shows separately the current and final Win, Place, and Show pools for each US/Canadian track they offer on their wagering menu. Subject info stays up for the current day until the menu switches over to the next wagering day. (Not sure what specific time this is, but I suspect it is still there at 2 or 3 a.m. Eastern Time.).
About 6 weeks ago I decided to start capturing daily the individual place and show pool totals for all thoroughbred races at virtually all tracks in the US and Canada. I also capture the number of wagering entities in that race, as pool totals are typically higher with larger field sizes. This process is essentially a manual one requiring 1-3 hours of work each day. I had originally considered doing this for perhaps a year, but lately I am leaning towards stopping the data collection for a given track once I have info on X number of races. The end result is that at some future point in time, I'll have decent info on which to make pool dilution calculations for any future Place and Show wagers.
