Lawn Jockey statue on the grounds of Monmouth Park racetrack in New Jersey.
There are different styles of the Lawn Jockey statutes. This one is known as the "Cavalier Spirit." Typically, the cavalier spirit design usually depicts the left arm raised, and uses a less exaggerated likeness of a young man, with features that are non-descript. These statues would also be painted in stark colors, with white breeches, black boots, and usually with the vest and cap of either bright red or dark green. The vest and cap might be painted in the bright shades of a jockey's racing silks. Several of this type of "cavalier spirit" jockey statues are prominently displayed at both the entrance of New York's 21 Club.
