A foal of 1948 by the Hanover Shoe Farm sire Billy Direct out of the Volomite mare Leta Long, his first owner was W. N. Reynolds. Tar Heel was known as the King of Queens because, for some mysterious reason, the genes he passed along to his daughters were very, very special. As a race horse he was a seasons champion at two, a world champion at three and the leading money-winning performer both years. He was retired to stud after taking a lifetime record of 1:57 in a time trial at four. As a sire he is credited with 160 two-minute performers through 1981 and the dams of 400 in 2:00. At the time of his death on June 8, 1982 at age thirty-four, Tar Heels progeny had earned nearly $36 million. At the dispersal of the Reynolds\\\' horses In November, 1951, Lawrence B. Sheppard bought Solicitor for $100,000 and Tar Heel for $125,000, providing some of the most dramatic moments in the sales companys history as they were the first Standardbreds to bring $100,000 at public auction.
