Langley's agent Bertrand le Metayer completed the the purchase of the Singspiel filly for 200,000 euros to add moe quality to the fillies and mares langley has bought to stock his new stud farm in Queensland.
Fees des Iles was a two-time winner and is a half-sister to the G3 winner and G1-placed Shaanmer and G1 placed Nordican Inch from the family of Best Of The Bests.
"Singspiel sired a very good filly in Australia called Rewaaya, but we don't have many of his stock there, which made her attractive," he said after the session.
"Her family is very active but, most importantly, she is free of Danzig blood."
Other highlights on day three included 97,000 euro for the six-year-old Barathea mare Latinia, a three-quarter sister to G1 winner Linda's Lad; and 80,000 for the Aga Khan's unraced three-year-old Shemanikha (Sendawar), a half-sister to stakes winners Shemaya and Shemala.
The third day market dropped as the catalogue offered mares and foals of a lower quality than those presented over the fist two days.
