The horse on the left is Golden Tempo, a 23-1 long shot who won the Kentucky Derby. The jockey is Jose Ortiz who won the Kentucky Oaks race yesterday - only the ninth jockey to win both in the same year.
The horse on the right is Renegade, at 4-1. The jockey is Irad Ortiz, Jr., Jose's brother. Irad has won the Belmont Stakes twice.
That's a horse riding Dynasty.

That was one of the best Derby races I’ve ever seen!
I'd seen a report on the derby every hour all day yesterday, plus some on Saturday, and not one mentioned that. All I heard was, "first Kentucky Derby winner trained by a woman" as if more than one or two people in the entire freaking country care. Meanwhile I had noticed after they crossed the finish line that the winner and second finisher were slapping five with each other and acting like they're genuinely happy for each other.
I thought it was just sportsmanship but your post explains that far better than the news ever did.
Little brother wins again, AND his first Derby win in 11 tries!
