Perhaps the 1hr prior will be bolstered by 2hrs post & that will now be more often in play?
I'd have thought there'd be much more of a chance to detect offenders in the 2hrs post race period than 2hrs prior prior.
Non lasix horses have to be on course approx. 2 hours beforehand, give or take about 15 mins at each track. Lasix horses are 4 hours beforehand.

Arriving on course at least 2 hours before your race and random post race TC02 have made TC02 infractions all but extinct in North America.... they are VERY rare. The same cannot be said in the Southern Hemisphere. Arriving 2 hours before your race is just once (vital) piece of the puzzle to nip this practice in the bud.... the other being post race TC02 testing.
