Looks like Arkle and Mill House at Cheltenham in the Gold Cup.
Arkle is named after a mountain in Scotland. Believe it or not its sister mountain is Foinaven, who's namesake won the infamous 1967 Grand National and after whom is named the Foinaven fence where the horse pileup occurred.

I remember Fionaven when all the horses fell and it was so far back it missed the trouble and came home lonely at 100/1

Aye, the jock on our right is indeed Piggot but the other one is not Roberts but Willie Shoemaker. Now, from that clue, whom is Piggot riding?
