They were. Through a horse named Fair Play, sire to Man-O-War, grandsire to Seabiscuit. This is very common in horse pedigrees to see similar bloodlines. With the creation of other American breeds such as the Quarter Horse and American Paint, these same Thoroughbred bloodlines are found in the family tree of many of these stock horses. Three Bars, a Thoroughbred stallion is considered one of four foundation stallions that all AQHA and APHA registered horses can trace back in their pedigrees.
Well, Secretariat was a triple crown winner. It wasn't just that he won them, he won them faster then anyone who ever run them. He won the Belmont by 31 lengths, and still holds it today.
Seabiscuit, was the short horse with a tall jockey. He won "The Match of the Century" with War Admiral. He and his jockey injured themselves while racing and raced together again and won.
No. Secretariat is actually the 9th Triple Crown winner. He won it in 1973. It would be impossible that the other Triple Crown winners, such as Sir Barton, who was the first to win it all the back in 1919, could be related to Secretariat. In fact, Secretariat's successful foals were mostly fillies, and they became great broodmares. Secretariat has no Triple Crown winners in his pedigree.

Secretariat never ran a match race. You may be thinking of Seabiscuit, who defeated War Admiral.
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.
They are both about Thoroughbred race horses, other than that they are unrelated.

Secretariat was a famous race horse. He became famous after winning 1st two racing jewels in the Triple Crown. He had 31-length victory in the Belmont Stakes. He was one of the finest horses.
No doubt, Man o' War was a great race horse. However, in my mind, Secretariat is the greatest race horse of all time. I remember jumping up and down when I was a teenager watching him race and screaming when he won the Triple Crown. When he won the third leg of the Triple Crown, the Belmont States, he beat the field by 22 lengths! Everyone should watch that video. If you love to watch horses run, it's something to behold. I think if they had ever met, it would have been one heck of a race; but I do think Secretariat would have won that race.
Secretariat was two years old when he ran his first race. Two years of age is the minimum age horses can start racing.
