Yes, He is related to Fair Play, the sire of Man O' War. Fair Play was Secretariat's great-great-grandsire, and Seabiscuit's great-grandsire.
Secretariat was a great-grand-nephew of Man O' War -- his sire Bold Ruler was out of a mare named Miss Disco, who was by Discovery, who was by Display, who was by Fair Play. Display was a half-brother to Man O' War.
Seabiscuit was a grandson of Man O' War -- his sire Hard Tack was by Man O' War, and his dam Tea Biscuit was by Rock Sand, who was also the sire of Man O' War's dam Mahubah. So Man O' War was also Seabiscuit's cousin, in a convoluted way. Man of War was War Admiral's Sire.
Secretariat never ran a match race. You may be thinking of Seabiscuit, who defeated War Admiral.

War Admiral won in 1937.
As with the match race between Seabiscuit and War Admiral in 1938, Secretariat ,ol;kghdawould be the odds-on favorite. He was bigger, had no visable conformation faults, and a trainer that was successful and had many wins under his belt. Obviously Seabiscuit had something in him to allow him to run like he did. So there is really no way to answer this question.
War Admiral was born in 1934, in Lexington, Kentucky, USA.
