I realize this is an old post, but the only sheet music I found for this piece is at:

Sheet music from french site:

https://ragtime-france.net/Ragtime/Bon/PDF/Steeplechase_Rag.pdf

In another web site I saw this link referenced with the comment that they weren't sure of the accuracy of the transcription. I downloaded the music from this link. I have my suspicions that it lacks accuracy but don't have enough expertise to be sure. If anyone can comment on this and/or has knowledge of sheet music for this piece that is accurate, I'd appreciate hearing of this.

Birba,

I probably didn't make myself clear. The "another site" I mentioned is commenting on that same french link I show above. That link is the only one I have for sheet music to this rag. I no longer recall how to get to this "another site" but I'll get that info to you if I run across it again. I know I found it thru google but it really didn't have any more useful info than what I stated above.

Sorry about the lateness of this reply, but I do have "Steeplechase Rag" buried some place in my collection. If you are still interested, I will look it up for you.
