The world of Quarter Horse racing moves fastโ€”and Fastrack Sale Company was built to match that speed. Designed to complement the traditional sale barn, Fastrack makes buying and selling Racing Quarter Horses more accessible, more transparent, and less stressful for both the people and the horses involved. This modern platform connects buyers and sellers from around the world, offering a premium online marketplace where pedigrees, performance, and preparation come together. Hereโ€™s how it all worksโ€”and whoโ€™s behind it!

The first Fastrack Sale will be held on December 14th from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM CST at bid.fastracksales.com or through the Fastrack app, available for both Apple and Android devices. Fastrack plans to host a variety of auctions throughout the year, including Flash Sales, Dispersal Sales, and bi-monthly sales designed to keep the marketplace active year-round. By bridging the gap left by traditional sale schedulesโ€”particularly during the spring months when sellers often have limited optionsโ€”Fastrack provides a consistent, modern outlet for high-quality horses to reach a worldwide audience.

Fastrack Sale Company was founded by Matt Witman, Butch Wise, Ty Smith, and Melanie Smithโ€”a team of industry veterans whose combined experience spans every corner of the performance and racing horse business. Together, they represent decades of leadership, innovation, and results. Matt Witman has spent more than 30 years in the horse industry, managing and marketing some of the most respected breeding and sales programs in the country. His focus on organization, precision, and professionalism helps set the quality standard for every Fastrack sale. Butch Wise brings an unmatched depth of knowledge in the racing world, having built a career identifying elite genetics and developing world-class racehorses and breeding programs. His eye for talent and reputation for integrity are central to Fastrackโ€™s credibility and success. Ty Smith brings a lifetime of hands-on experience to Fast Track, having bought and sold some of the most notable horses in performance horse auction history. Heโ€™s helped shape some of the most progressive operations in the industry, combining practical expertise with a forward-looking vision for modern sales. Melanie Smith is widely recognized for transforming how horses are marketed online. Her innovation and commitment to quality presentation have redefined expectations for digital auctions across multiple disciplines. She brings strategic direction, branding insight, and the leadership that connects tradition with technology. Together, this team built Fastrack to raise the bar for transparency, accessibility, and professionalism in Quarter Horse racing salesโ€”and beyond.

Selling through Fastrack starts with simplicity and structure. Each horse is entered online in an interactive form. From there, the seller chooses an approved agentโ€”someone trusted, experienced, and hands-on. Current approved agents include Roger Daly, Marty Powers, Marc Jungers, Robicheaux Ranch, RJ Ranch and Solo Select. Agents must be approved, and interested parties should contact Butch Wise. Agents manage everything from photos and videos to radiographs and veterinary statements, ensuring each horse is accurately represented. Fastrack advertises the sale as a whole, while each agent handles individual marketing, inquiries, and private showings. When the sale closes, Fastrack verifies payment before any horse is released for pickup, ensuring a smooth, secure transaction every time.

For buyers, Fastrack brings the sale to them - anywhere in the world. Registration is quick and includes credit card verification for identification. Buyers can download the Fastrack app or browse through the website to access a modern digital catalog featuring professional photos, videos, pedigrees, and open access to radiographs and veterinary findings through a public repository link. securely.

Fastrack bridges tradition and technology. It keeps the trust and accountability of in-person salesโ€”agents, inspections, professionalismโ€”while introducing a streamlined, global system built for access and efficiency. Horses stay comfortable and safe while reaching a far wider audience, and buyers can participate from anywhere in the world. With a team thatโ€™s been part of record-breaking moments in both live and online auctions, Fastrack combines credibility with innovation to redefine whatโ€™s possible in the horse sale industry.
