Unless there is a love wings/rose event in place then the only way to advance in a steeplechase is to spend diamonds to boost your distance.

During a rose/wings event you can boost by saving up and using those tokens instead of diamonds. However that being said if you want to manipulate the steeplechase weather wheel it will still cost diamonds.
